just finished my mates s13 today, he bought the car matt black, so wanted it back to the way it used to be painted. the matt black was murder because it wasn't keyed well in places so i had to remove it all! also had alot of dodgy repairs here and there so had to fix them also. pics will explain everything hopefully! shame the white doesnt shine in the pics, cos its awesome





how it used to look, the plan!





the front end was bare metal under the matt black




repairing some dents






















very pleased!

Looks good, although a white bonnet would have followed suit better imo

its a road car as well though, he had to use it every day (the s13), so a lairy colour is a bit ott.

res i remember you doin that 200, would look so much better without the spoiler though. def what i would go for, my mate has his doen in candy apple red, but unfortunetly bodyshop must have done it cheaply has sun faded it over summer so he had it done metalic anthracite.

it was like the sun oxidised it, we took the badges off before it went in for a respray and the extent of fading was in only 3 months

Plus someone had keyed all one side, was a beautiful colour when 1st done.

I dont think i would go as far as neon but def a bight colour along those lines.
