After I waxed my car yesterday I noticed more red paint coming off on the cloth when I did the roof wombined with one rusty wheel arch and some crusty **** where I sprayed back to black stuff and the mist drifted on the paint :rotz:

So I'm contemplating getting the rusty wheel arch changed and a full respray next year,

Some people have said hmmm it's not really worth it...but screw them

How much would a respray be roughly? or am I best off speaking to a bodyshop? (in the original colour of course)

screw me then

you'll save a couple of hundred by self prepping it

and then you may get a cheap blow over for £300

You still might be able to save it with a wire brush, some filler, some primer, and appropriate coloured paint. Detailing clay might remove the back to black stuff. Touch ups can still look quite good if the colour is matched well and it's blended in nicely. Much cheaper than a full respray too.

Thanks for the suggestions but i'm still hmmmmmmmm

If chavved up no marks can get their saxos sprayed to some fancy schmancy colour what's wrong with me restoring my charming little Favorit

I'm just fussy This is just a plan for sometime next year hopefully. Stioll need my cig lighter socket and rear speakers wiring in!!
