Kris Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 long shot marky, what about trying that greets guy, see if hes got a good condition bonnet arround, doesnt need to be 100% mint, as faded a little wont hurt, just new decals then if he has, prob cheaper than a respray?? I think a new bonnet would look good than a respray because as you say if you resprayed her it would all need doing but a rust free slightly faded bonnet would keep the original look.

BGU Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Having seen how well she has polished up I have changed my mind - Leave her alone. She's good enough and original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 What did you use the calculator for Was it to work out how many tins of paint you had to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 - I think that must have been someone else Bill... Not me... honest gov... NOTE TO SELF - Don't pinch paint from work Pet hate of mine is paint runs on the side of tins Mark but if it was "nicked paint" then that isn't so bad ;D On a positve note though it helps find the correct colour of paint in the tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
