Guest cheshireglanza Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 depends on how much you want to spend getting it done you can get some cheap resprays done and the paint will flake off after few months i had a car sprayed before and to have the job done right it cost me 2000 quid if you take your time you will find a starbo that suits you or if you no some one who owns a bodyshop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 so im guessing you want a n/a cause most turbos I've seen are either black or white, there are diff colours but the majority are black or whitedont think I've seen many black n/a's actuallyhmmmmm resprays your looking at £1000 plus for a good job you know?

kaylee Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 i know but i really really want a black one, my mate said hed do it for me if i got the paint hed do it for free but then people are like thats good of him, and others are like but will he do a good job? so i dunno, i know its gonna cost a lot aswell but at least ive gone off the whole respraying it pink idea lol and yeh i do want a n/a im only 17 n my insurance would be 11grand on a glanza so no thanks to that for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 haha fook thatand thats what i thought about your mate lol. will he do a good jobspraying aint an easy job at all. anyone can spray but unless you really know how to do a good job, have the best equipment and have done it a few times then you wont get a good job. i can spray quite well but i wouldnt want to do a full respray on a car as i know i would fuck it up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kaylee Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 he works as a body repairer and sprayer, hes resprayed nearly all his own cars and they all look good, ive watched him do his old mini and it was a good job. i think I've only ever seen like 2 black starlets n.a's, i would have a silver 1 or a white 1, there still kinda hard to find but easier than black. at least ive got a few months to decide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

glanza97 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I wouldnt bother getting it sprayed to be honest as your never going to get your money back... but if you really want to get the colour changed jus get it wrapped in a black or white vinyl, well cheaper and will protect the paint undernearth too, and will also cover up alot of scratches too =D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Could get an SR? to be honest, i wouldnt spend that much money on a colour.. unless you had plans on keeping the lil starlet for years and years. Why not go for the metalic salmon pink Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 just buy a car and use it for a year to get some ncb. doesnt matter what it looks like. my first car was a white mk3 1.1 5dr fiesta it was a shit bucket. i baught it for 200 quid from a car auction the day i passed my test and i loved the thing lol. it blew up after 2 months right enough but you learn to drive properly in your first car. maybe with a bump or two so why pay all that money getting it painted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaylee Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 i wouldnt get it painted straight away i wouldnt be able to afford it, il just have to see what happens when i get one and what ones are about i might end up wanting to keep the colour after buying one. and plus i tend on keepin my starlet till i can get a glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 if you are gona put a glanza kit on and maybe do a turbo conversion then yea spray it if not dont bother as that money could be better spent and you will end up selling it for a V. i had a silver V and wanted a black one so i sold it and imported a new one in black lol but im anal and didnt want to remove a bolt and see silver underneath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
