True we did cane the engineering cars.....

But I am not sure spending 2k on detail equipment and time to do it , would be cheaper than a full respray..... As for cars value it seem the uk has got it wrong on the continent a celica like that would worth 3k a least.... But then we wouldn't get the bargins..

But I also had new cars straight out of the factory and the paint was poor.... orange peel and colours of bumpers and filler cap not matching the body as the bumpers and filler caps are usually sprayed else like a compelety different factory 100s of mile away from the main assembly plant with the same matching paint batch..... Strange but true
