applemobile 0 Posted March 29, 2008 i was looking at my car the other day, and i think it really needs some tlc in the paint department. and after getting locked out, i managed to scratch more paint getting back in. i cant merrit the money to spend getting a re-spray in sorrento green, but i know it i get all the places touched up it wont quite look right. the paint will never match. I have been offered a full respray in a totally different colour (some kind of blue) for very cheep. is it really sacralidge to spray a sorrento green car a different colour, i just feel i would be hung drawn and quartered ir anyone found out! what are your views?

TurboSam 5 Posted March 29, 2008 I have been offered a full respray in a totally different colour (some kind of blue) for very cheep. does the very cheap respray include all the door shuts and other bits? either way I'd keep it sorrento.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted March 29, 2008 I just feel I would be hung drawn and quartered if anyone found out! what are your views? We wouldn't be that harsh on you mate. Maybe a ban for life and a visit from 'the boys' though No, the choice is yours at the end of the day, but I think sorrento is one of the best colours on a 205, so I'd urge you to keep it standard. Surely for the price of full respray you could have the damaged areas repaired? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted March 29, 2008 how about stripping it yourself? surely that will bring the price down a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applemobile 0 Posted March 29, 2008 does anyone know where i can get hold of a small amount of paint? or maybe in some rattle cans? who sells sorrento green, cant find it in my local auto stylee shope? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Try looking for something more like a paint or bodyshop supplier. Most will be able to mix you some of the correct colour and put it in a rattle can for you. If you can take a (painted) part from your car with you, they should be able to get a very close match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darojac 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Go to www.paints4u.com - they're in Sc*nthorpe but do mail order. Your car will have a paint code of either MORM or ERM, but their ordering system only recognises ERM. You'll need lacquer as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
