If i had the money in the bank id buy this now

I rekon you could easily sell it on for more if you were to sort the paint and the exhuast as well.

It looks mint and its the cheapest ive seen a 500 going for a long time

Someone wanna loan me £1800? lol

to be honest i think its ****in horrible n wouldnt pay £1 for it

some people have NO style

considering they're worth around £5k in mint condition it be worth it

Has he seriously painted that with spray cans?

i think it looks fabulous, im guessin the wheels have been refurbed, as they are impeccable!

no he rekons u can do that bonnet etc and finish it off with the spray cans. Some how i just wouldnt lol

It didn't sell @ 1700 - reserve not met

Looks nice and clean. I'd consider having it.

If he's cut corners by painting it with spray cans what else has he cut corners on? Who does that!?

I don't consider using aerosols as cutting corners - full cars have been resprayed like this before.

Spraying a car with aerosol spray cans is cutting corners. No question.

Why?

You can get a very good finish with aerosols - some people can't afford to use a sprayshop but they can invest time in the prep, etc. - so how's that cutting corners? Cutting corners involves not putting enough effort into the prep, not getting the finish glass smooth etc. The paint finish on that 500 looks pretty decent to me.

1K worth of posts!

Congrats on 1000 posts.

Personally I'd rather save for a bit and get a proper spray job done. I know you can get a decent enough finish with aerosols, but it's not ideal.

Cheers Steve

Yeah I know it ain't ideal, and using a compressor is best, but you may need to respray pretty sharpish (e.g. after vandalism, etc) and you simply can't afford bodyshop prices, so aerosols are the only option. Also its a good opportunity to learn how to do a bit of spray painting, prep etc.
