The paint on the car is original and not that bad, although it needs touching up here and there, i am hoping to paint it next year but could do with making it look a bit better at the mo. Any ideas -------------------- Wrap ur ass in fibreglass!!!!

I just removed the fuel door and got it matched. Sorted.. Speaking of rattle cans, I met a guy at a show who restores classic cars at home and only uses 2 pack cans to paint them! He says its more convenient and does as good a job as a spraygun, although more expensive, but then he doesn't have to do the whole car in one go or hire the kit.

Always fancied a Gulf GT40 layout over my '87 myself! Just love the 60's sports/GT racer look of the cars at the Revival. http://colourmycar.net/go/chrome

No seriously i bet a full wrap wouldnt be that much cheaper than a repaint. -------------------- Wrap ur ass in fibreglass!!!!
