Andyb0127 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 You bought it for £300 and selling for £600 don't see the point really. Custom gold basecoat at least. Even if you your brother inlaw gets it cheap, you'll still probably need 3-4 litres approx £80-100 for that. Gold metal flake probably looking around £15-20 for that Clear laquer 5 litres £70-80 for half decent quality one. Then there's the fact that you need the right set up on spray gun for that, then theres the fact that laquer will not sit flat a have rough finish, due to the metal flame causing this, so extra coats of laquer will be needed, normally around 6-8 coats, problem you'll have there if its done in an oven you will run the risk of solvent boil. Even if it's air dryed you will still run the risk of a drop in gloss levels, which may not even and polish up. Best solution for that is to apply four coats of laquer so it's got a nice build to it, leave it for a week then flat it down with p1500 and apply another four coats of laquer, this way it will sit nice and flat with a better finish. Just seems a lot of work for not a lot of profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I like that. Not the front bumper tho if im being honest but the rest looks spot on. Wheels = FTWAll that hassel of painting it and your only gonna ask for £600. I hope you ask for more than that. Not being funny but any car that can move ( road lagally) has got to be 600 notes to a brand new driver. You gotta look at the 1k mark at least! Even then its not really asking for that much.

Craig855S Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Insurance on that for an inexperienced driver will be crippling, I agree however that you average chav buyer would probably pay a grand for it if you get the paint finish to look good.

sidrick Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Surely that'll be scrapped. It doesn't sound right that you'd only get £600 once painted, though. The wheels must be worth half of that. Maybe no MOT? Maybe had a bump?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
