will be taking my car new zimmer to the body shop tommorow, let me sort out the few dings rust and chips bring it back to pristine. however if its probably more economical to just respray the whole outter shell what do you guys reckon of this....
keep the Lazur Blau or have a different shade of the Lazur Blau?? possibly a darker/lighter shade? metalflakes added??? or keep it clean and original??

Hmmm, keep it original! Always looks better in my opinion plus I think the car is worth more maybe if it's original? But, I say go for clean and original.

practically all panels have some sort of imperfection, so best to spray the lot and treat it all...
600-700 a good price for all dinks/rust.etc removed and a full spray over??

Hmm, to me that sounds like a very good price. Do you know what kind of quality the guys work is? If you dont, ask to see a car he has already sprayed. If he is good and you are happy then I would say thats an ace price!

I would agree with that - sure this would normally cost at least Ԛ£1000.

lol 4 guys from my dads work have used him, and they are all very very happy with him, my dads seen the work and he says its spotless,,,
this ^^^ is one of my options
the other is getting my cousins geez to do it, my cousin has had his car fully resprayed several times,,, this guy does it all the time and i can say its STUNNING work, though cost a couple of hundred quid more for same work.
but yeah glad its a good price will let you all know how it goes and if hes good then ill recommend and post up his number,,, 6-700 is not a special price for me,,, thats his going rate.... whereas my cousins guy is a special rate and still costs more by a bit but is garenteed ACE.
hes quite local to alot of poeple in south west london..
