To Pearl Or Not To Pearl?

[cassanova]

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

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.

[Ben (lurk75)]

No your right cass but think off what you could do ON the bonnet for ?30 with a certain proffesion! :wink: hhmmmmmmmmm
(i spent too long in Prauge)

LOL lurk, hey. maybe if i got a good one i could pearl it myself, if u know what i mean :wink:

[Ben (lurk75)]

LMAO :P :lol: :wink:

i thought you wanted to spray your car not polish yer head!

[locky]

Wot u gota remember with pearl paint is that if u have a bump, u gota get the same pearl colour match! Who is spraying your car?
The bodyshop that done min e was quite good!

locky: looks like im just guna have it straight white now, theres a guy in Fanny Street (any1 not in cardiff.... that is a real street name) that does classics, im guna do some signwriting work for him for a discount. Im expecting him to be pretty good, he's working on an old Aston Martin at the moment so im assuming he must be pretty good at what he does. :D Saw ya paintjob the other day btw. looks good, i'll bring mine down when its done.

ne1 remember that flourescent yellow colour that some ford cossies came in in the early 90's? Theres a nova cruising about in glasgow in that same colour.

Its the same colour as the old banana flavoured Hubba Bubba chewing gum!

Looks well smart - if a little odd!

lol, av u heard the heli beds advert?
"on the corner of crwarse road and fanny street, with free parking"
Nothing like a bit of free parking in fanny street lmfao every time the advert comes on the radio :lol:

[cassanova]

im trying to work out why they changed the name, beds direct makes sense, but heli-beds??? nutters. I'm gettin an office around the corner from you (locky) over the next couple of weeks, a lock-up type thing in the warehouse of furniture direct :lol:
