Could do my mate had a pink bmw looks sooo nice. But have to find the right pink.

What colour do you want your car to be?

Whatever colour makes YOU happy. You've gotta live with it everyday so make sure it's a colour you love, it doesn't matter if anyone else doesn't like it as long as your happy with it.

keep it the colour it is.

The paint on my capri green MK2 was real faint and dull, but after a few good cleans and coats of wax/polish it looks 1000 times better, give your car a real good clean and polish up and you never know you might come to like the colour, respraying a whole car is just ball-ache and £££ so it's not really worth it mate.

its easier to sort faded paint than respray a car. Common? how many other red small bumper mk2s are there on this forum? if you paint it a matt colour it will loose alot of value, keep it in its original colour and it will hold its value.

Very true

not that there is alot of value to hold


You seem very determined to do something different, not something that you like or will look good

I have to be diffrent i hate crowds. My dad just gave me a great idea. BLACK and YELLOW

I used to have a red small bumper mk2. the problem is solid colours like this weren't laqured from the factory and fade badly, especially if you've been anywhere near it with tfr truck wash, then it's probably gone pink. all it needs is a good machine polish and then a few coats of wax to help protect it then just keep ontop of the polishing, and once buffed use a wax to add layers of protection not t cut cause that will take layers off.
have you guessed I want you to keep it red
changing the colour and making it look good is such grief

Whether or not it's 'different', only one person has to like it.
Why do you need us to help you decide? Just get on with it, do what you want.

Hate these threads, FFS.

Yeah it might of looked good but it was a pain in the arse to clean and maintain if ur car has faded its red they all fade but with some tlc wash and polish, tcuts etc it should come out mint and this way u dont devalue ya car and if u paint it it might look gash jus look at tht other matt black mark 2 looked terrible

Yer i tottaly understand were everyone is coming from and all the advise is being taken in but like pistacheuro said im the only one that has to like it. So im gunna take a long hard think about it before i decide what to do

I cant really say anything as i did paint mine matt balck but nuff said


gash
