Ohh Glacier frost looks :drool: a nice colour, that would be the one for me

Double ditto :cool2:

smithy

+1 for Glacier Frost

Cool, The painter has told me that the glacier frost will certainly look very cream/yellow in some lights and may not suit the car as its a very modern colour on an 80`s car!? Do we think he may have a point? I am normally pretty good a decision making but this is one im struggling with :-(

Well the car was avaialable in pearl white in some years, so I think he is overthinking it ... and a quick look here is enough to convince me it would look just as good on a Zed :)

Hmmm, that does look very cream :-S

I think it would suit the car. would be one of a kind

kindda different i guess, as plain white is just boring!

Glacier frost for me buddy, I think it would look stunning on a Zed.:rockon:

White mate look mint. It shows all the detail

How much is either option likely to set you back if you don't mind my asking? I'm looking to get mine done a pearlescent/metallic white before summer, after I do all the prep on the little dings / smooth down the stonechip / get a 99spec front bumper / possibly a rear jdm bumper etc :}

Get a new painter:lol::lol:

Lol, nah he`s a mate of mine think he`s just trying help thats all, by the time I have bought all my new trim bits and inc paint and labour its going be closer to £2000. But my car was only painted 3 years ago and so there should be no rust and all the panels are still straight. Thanks for all your imput guys :-)

Car goes in to the body shop on Monday, I have now decided on the Glacier Frost colour, cant wait! :-D

Can't wait to see pics, I think it will look stunning :)

 

looking good, the space saver really sets it off :lol:

Space savers are in! mark my words they are going to be big this season lol

That's looking great mate. I'd have advised to get any white EXCEPT pearl white!! Mine was pearl and you can never get the metal and plastic/fiberglass parts to match exactly. after 3 times of trying i decided just to get my whole car re-done in Mercedes Arktik white and i'm well chuffed with it :)

:-( dont say that, the car has been painted today

would have looked much nicer if you had the swage lines filled in at the same time

 

there are some lovely colours around now ....some of the motorbike colours , pearls and micas are stunning ....i know what you mean about looking to modern a colour i struggled for days to pick and finally went for a lexus colour as well

I managed to get down to the body shop today, the car is slowly being put back together now,

 

Here is a first pic of the new colour...

 

I prefer the swage lines left alone personally, and thats looking good, some pics when its put together and taken in the sun will really bring it too life :)
