Would people even attempt a home made attempt at changing a cars colour, to say....white?

Rattle cans tastic? Or could it end it tears

Go for it, its not about looks? Depends if you want it to look semi-tidy on the track or if you don't give a shit about it.

Not a bad idea, but TBH would want to do it over the winter and ideally not rush it.

Semi decent, semi shit. Want to sticker it up as well so the shit bits can be disguised with some stragetically placed stickers

Do the prep work yourself and leave the spraying to someone with the right equipment/facilities?
