If you want real variety then, I've got a white old german car. Fancy doing that? :lol:


Serious question btw... How on earth do you match in the finish when you do repairs on modern cars with the appauling orange peely crap finish that a lot of them have now? (from new)
Everytime I see them on the road, I always think there's no way I'd accept the car off the dealer if I turned up to pick up my new car and it had that crap finish.

Good question. BMWs and Merc and VAG cars i think now are all powdercoated clear coats. Whilst its extremely thick and tough, its has the bad orange peel.
The bumpers are fine but the metal work is where its powdercoated or speed dried to cause the peel.
In other words most of the time my repairs are usually better but sometimes they can look too good.
