Should I get a Monogram Colour ?

[LiE]

It adds nothing to the car.

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

eugh

a guy in plymouth has an audi TT cabriolet, which has this stupid type of paint. I think it looks crap to be honest

 

[Hxc]

It's for TVRs

 

[Janesy B]

Any chance to post a TVR eh?

Don't blame him. We need the eye candy to counter the OP

Looks horrible and a total nightmare to repair. Not really possible to spot repair at all, full respray or nothing tbh and even then you need a highly experienced painter to get it right.

 

[Sneaky Peaky]

Yep - you're right. Decision made ! Will see if I can find a nice Xpower Grey one then..

 

[howthe]

why would you want to draw even more attention to a crappy car?

 

[Hxc]

Any chance to post a TVR eh?

Definitely

Does look fantastic, though!

 

[GreenMint]

The TF has a really nice look to it...

With this paint, it looks like a clown has thrown up on it.

Keep it for TVR's and Chavved to hell Saxos, or buy one and get it redone in Trophy Blue!

The price of paint over the last few years has sky rocketed

for sure, it's still not that expensive though.

, I will check with the old man to see how much a litre costs tonight.

£40 a litre or so for waterborne, solvent base is half that but shops aren't supposed to use it any more. Flip flop colours cost £100+ a litre.

A respray for a std car is around 3/4k all in, with the flip paint you are looking at least double that.

Rubbish, it costs nowhere near that much.

Vile colours. Certain TVR's get away with them, but only just..

Cue Eff Tee, and even then, I'd prefer a normal metallic colour tbh (ie that awesome purple).

Despite the fact that afaik they're Rover colours

 

[Hxc]

Most of the TVR flip paint was TVR specific, iirc.

 

[Lum]

I think the rule that someone on another forum posted re: Lambo Green applies equally to flip paint.

Flip paint (or bright Lambo Orange/Green) is awesome, however it only works if it's applied to a car that is able to contain all that awesomeness.

They then followed this statement with a picture of a lime green Murcilago and a lime green Civic.

The TVR and the Rover back on page 1 would work just as well.

It's for TVRs

Complete and utter porn!

 

[Morba]

black or that trophy blue

nothing else.

 

[Sneaky Peaky]

but then again, I wonder.....

 

[Morba]

NO!

I quite like the "bittersweet" paint in the first shot, but the second pic is too much like the (chromaflair I think) paint that Nissan used on the Primera GT's and has since been adopted by the chav fraternity.
Even so, while I think that type of paint can look nice it's not for me as I'd be too worried that some oik scratched it. IIRC you have to paint the entire side of the car if you want a "proper" job due to the way iridescent paint scatters light.

 

[Fr0dders]

but then again, I wonder.....

you've done chav before with the stickered up scooby

no need to do it again
