should i get my SJ resprayed?

Post by Jay18 » Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:13 pm

i have given my zuki a coat of red paint, and needs a few more coats but im thinking maybe i should get it sprayed a different colour possibly black?

what are everyones thoughts on the colour for my zuki, also does insurance go up when the colour has been changed...

if the body works not dead straight black paint will make it look a bit shabby . it shows up all the dings and distortion if you've done a lot of welding .

i think ill keep it red then as you can barely see the warp of the body from the heat of the welder, there is a dent on my osf wing anyway so the body work isnt perfect..
