So the car will be in three nice thick coats of primer by the end of next week. Question is - solid colour or metallic?

And what are people experience of spraying costs? My guy is going to price up both options for me - he has to out source the metallic though....

It's going to be either red with white stripes in solid, or the pale Ford Electric Orange metallic - the colour on the new Focus ST.

And apart from the obvious harder and more expensive to do any repair work on metallic - any other reason I shouldn't have it?

Cheers

When i spray mine which will be next year i'm going for a pearl colour, metalic or pearl will cost more to repair if you damage it, Rage do some very nice effects, linky thing http://www.rage-extreme.com/products/pe ... dcoats.asp
my personal choice of the two you have chosen would be the ford colour or arancio pearl (think thats spelt right) another link not a very good picture of the colour though http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/118624-1t.jpg
its your choice though.

Phil - that Orancio (correct spelling ) pearl is bloody loverly too ..... now you've got me thinking .....

I got mine rubbed down and sprayed for £850 in solid blue, I know the guy so got a bargain.

my personal preference is for solid colours rather than metallics, especially on the classic, but as with all thinks: each to their own

Just to put the cat amongst, i think spectra flair silver would look absolutley stunning on a stylus. http://ph.uncle-dave.co.uk/upload/images/gx05enh1.jpg again photo doesn't do it justice, but food for thought

I'd also want the tilting bonnet rents!
