I could have a word with Emma about the RS green. She works at Lifestyle Ford in Redhill

Both would suit your car.

Both would look fantastic mate, the rs green is pearlesant and would be quite hard to spray or repair, the kawk green is flat and would be easier to touch in and repair if you had any scratches or stone chips.

Staying peppermint now.
I would be without the car too long :)

Would be away too long for you to go without 'playing' with it

Do like the peppermint colour

Jolly Green Monster 12-07-2010 04:53 PM

yes.

I think also the current colour is not far enough away from the desired new colour to warrent the time without it.. also some hassle as all new paint is water based which has other issues and need dehymidifiers etc.. the peppermint can be bought in the old style paint and much less hassle.

The finish with the new water based paint isn't that good im ny opinion. Very orange peel

Jolly Green Monster 12-07-2010 05:59 PM

Agreed and if it gets a stone chip water washes the paint away the size of a 10p.
Check new bmws

i cant believe some of the paint finishes on the new cars, like chunk said very orange peely, some are to the point they dont even have a proper reflection on them, it can be fixed though, you could pay a detailer or bodyshop to wet sand the clear coat and cut back smooth but even then its still not as good as the older paint finishes.

Glad you stuck with the peppermint mate, quality colour

Chunk 13-07-2010 03:50 PM

Shouldn't have to doi all that work to a new car's paint. Should be a perfect finish with all the latest spraying equipment
