[Niallc]

Sent my Zed in yesterday for a full respray!
Here’s a few pics

Wow sounds amazing and expensive

 

[buzyg]

A full respray. It must be love.

 

[Mr Tidy]

Wow - that sounds like a case of severe Zeditis! :lol:

Should look fantastic afterwards.

 

[paddy wright]

Looks good already!

Great stuff! That’s going to be mint.

I don’t know why they didn’t take the panels off, though... they all bolt off in minutes. Saves masking every panel... :?

 

[synthedup]

Very nice,

Shame they didn’t take the time to remove the Ariel properly.

 

[g3org3y]

Wow! Just refresh or a completely different colour?

I’d be wanting to check the work very carefully before paying up, looks like the surface of the moon on the floor ...complete with astronauts footprints. Lots of potential contaminants for your new paint.

A friend of mine has a small body shop and although his preparation area looks a bit like this workshop on occasions, his sealed, heated and vented spray booth looks like an operating theatre by comparison.

Looking great although I would have had them remove the aerial at the very least before painting.

Looks like you can see a spray booth in the back of the photos. I am pretty certain they are not spraying it outside.

Keeping it the same color, the missus hit the back left panel and I decided to get the whole car done due to the age and all the other scratches etc.

It’s all sprayed indoors and in a booth

Looks like they are doors to the outside?

The bumpers appear to have been painted in the open space on the rack at the back? Can’t see wheels on the racks?

And that's why my wife doesn't drive my Z4. :lol:

(She recently reversed her 330i Touring into our garage, splintering the wooden door with the tow bar and yet also managing to hit the bumper. Go figure. :roll:
