Hi all...

tested a solid paint red beauty....i am thinking of spraying it into
metalic silver...would this spoil the "originality" of the car in the eyes
of all ZX lovers?

THanks manyak manyak for any input...

Personally I don't think so. My 16v was originally black then the previous
owner painted it diamond red...no regrets!
The problem with changing colours is that some paint shops are not careful
when painting the engine compartment. Damage may occur when some parts of
the engine needs to be removed for painting. So make sure you send the car
paint specialist.

the other car which is white colour, the version with spoiler. So now am
waiting for all the procedure to be done to collect the car... :) so it
feels like a long long wait....hopefully this week can get!
