What do you think of the beauty's colour

Hi
My 2 girls have suggested we change the colour of our 4 to mint green.
I have been quoted £800 for a decent job but only to the outside (no engine bay)
I quite like it as it is but would look stunning in a pastil green .
any thoughts?

With better lighting

ask the girls to raise the £800? (be prepared to eat them words thou and paint it mint green)

Yup do what we did with our old VW, go down the colour choice machine at B&Q, with the kids, choose a gloss colour that everyone likes, pick up some gloss rollers and masking tape on your way to the tills and go for it!

Preparation of the surface is the key though, it must be clean, dry and flatted down nicely beforehand .

Amazing .. It does sound painful for the car though

Pepper, very interesting! Is it a long lasting job? what kind of paint is it?

Was just normal gloss paint, and it lasted 10 years and polished up really well.
