Err. Compressed air. Blows paint over the car. Blow... over.
Usually refers to a quick spray job to improve a car's looks.

Cos its a cheap respray and there just covering up and shite or blemishes that was on it, Therefor shite.
Either paint the car and do the work or dont do it atall, Dont just slap paint on.

Seen several cars having it done, In the long run looks shite. If your just selling the car or whatever then yes , Its acceptable that way.

i may just go and ask for a mop then.

It's a seems to be a fairly common thing done to vans. I know someone who gets his vans blown over every year, only costs him £200 each, and it keeps em looking tidy, especially with vans cos people tend not to give a shit

Mike - Deffinetley mate, More than worth it for reguarly used vans. If your gonna choose between a joiner with a tidy clean looking van or a joiner with a fucked looking multicoloured H reg transit with scratches and scrapes etc. Deffo the first guy so its true what your saying.
Roffo - Mate, without sounding like a dick, Dont be tight and get the respray if anything, Its worth it. Im always one for beleiving if your gonna do it, do it right. Its up to you, but theres nothing wrose than the feeling of regret, especially when a few hundreds involved.

very basic prep work, Most of the money your paying for is the prep work and paint.

No worries, just had a few mates who got blow overs/mops/paint flashes etc and i felt bad for them when they got theres cars back.
Its up to you mate but thats my friendly advice on the matter lol.
As The Real Hustle say 'If it sounds to good to be true, It probably is'.
