how much does a paint job like that set you back, the first good looking tranny ive seen i bought one a year ago but its still a boring white work horse would it be a better idea just to get it raped do u think its just cost me £1000 for a new clutch and gearbox.

hand paint it with rustoleum, just shame they dont have greens like that.

need more green vans on the road, what ever happened to British racing green etc?

i love green, its my fav colour. years ago,when still at home, mum n dad went on holiday, i went to b & q, got Dulux green was soooooo lary but really nice deep bright green not dissimilar to the van, just bit more intense.Painted my whole room- needless to say parents were shocked as the whole house had always been boring clinical white, but turned out quite calming. when i moved out took 8 coats to hide but at least now they got some imagination and have magnoila and colours other than brill bloody white!
