    Default To Pearl Or Not To Pearl?

    As you can see from the pic, ive got a white novadosed SR on a J plate, im nearly finished doin the bodywork side of things now so im guna get a respray. The guy thats doin it for me (in exchange for signs) is suggesting adding in a bit of blue pearl to the white. Du reckon it'll look any good on my baby??

    Its a nova, it never going to look very impressive anyway, so spend your money under the bonnet instead and go out and kick some arse!

    You can't polish a turd!

    That is b*llocks some of these people who do go full out for style rather than power pull of some amazing things, a lot of them arent my taste but they do look very smart! And can look very clean.

    In my opinon i dont think the flip/ pearl paints look right on any small cars as the panels arent big enough to pull it off!

    flips and stuff normally seem to look better on rounded cars

    Default pearl

    CHIP: Not bein funny mate, but this is a Nova site, every1s polishing turds.

    I'm just askin opinons cos the paintjob isnt really costing me anything, ?30 difference between straight and pearl and for that money there isnt a hell of a lot i could do under the bonnet.
