£300 wouldn't cover the cost of the paint

I wouldn't want someone to paint my car with 'leftovers'. How much paint has he got? 'leftovers' to me, means not very much.

As said hes a mate, hes a profeesional sprayer with his own spraying booth thing and that aint no cheap rattle can bloke, he got a deal on alot of the paint at a cheap price, now hes used what he needs hes got a load left, enough to do 3-4 cars, hes just spent 3 hours welding a plate on my chassis to get through the MOT and didnt charge, thats the sorta mate he is hence why its so cheap

Would like it to be different to most corsas and stand out a bit but without spending silly money

Lotus yellow being....

With the same colour corsa c sxi wheels, bearing in mind it would be lowered 60mm aswel, with black depos and standard rear lights, aaaaand blacked out windows

Tom got about 8 litres of leftover laquer when his work stopped doing BMW's so they had no use for paint with BMW written on the tin anymore

You've seen his proper work, not his £300 cheap, on the side work.

A £300 respray WILL be shit, unless it's on a moped.
