what colour shall we paint it - really needs to be 1 colour as we don't want to complicate it :!:

so as frozen white seems to be the front runner we'll just check before we order the paint :D

the problem with metallic colours is they show up every imperfection - although it would look good in pics close up you would see faults you wouldn't see in white :D

the prep worries me :!: but you could still paint it 2 colours and laquer it in an afternoon whatever anyone says, you just need to prep it right, even if you paint it frozen white and its prepped by monkies its still going to look crap, even if picasso puts the paint on :!:
