Gloss black has got to be the worst colour to show up the tiniest of imperfections

My whole car very neatly ended up this unique colour.. Looked black from 10 foot in the shade.. But in the sun was deffo green

But the black didn't mix properly and there were tiny black dots in the paint.. Paint shop gave me my money back

Never thought I'd be painting it white..

But have to admit now I love the colour..




With around 77,000 pre made colours to choose from.. Let alone custom.. And then the various options for clear coat.. Rainbow glitter, pearls, satins, metal flakes.. Candy.. Etc

Good luck.. Look forward to the pictures

My youngest daughters F was a dog, but the paintjob turned the heads of all that saw her drive by. At night, it was like 'driving Las Vegas'. Click to view.

Did she buy it like that Leigh?

Never had a Peugot and probably never will, so I'm not biased, but their Tivoli blue is lovely colour. With a layer of silver metalflake over the top I would imagine looking stunning.

Yep, it came like that. Nothing but comments on the paint job throughout her ownership. I've no idea where it was done.

The interior seats that are pushing to me to stay with green but i do like Arden Blue.

When i painted it a few years ago the colour is better in the sun,not to everyones taste general feedback a bit marmite.

That is similar to one i bought from Blackpool around 2008 i kept it for about 6 months it used to produce a white misty haze on paint when it rained.Having trouble uploading pics,picture 8 on link
