Right basically ive had like 6 cars ive written off and ive decided if i paint it up nice myself then its not gonna get treated rubbish. *i hope*
Anyway im jus wondering, Wht do i need to repaint it?
Yeh im doin it myself like wht paints do i need how to i finish it after painted an how do i get the current paint off.
Also what do i tell insurance after ive done it, or could i get away with not telling them?
Ill +rep all helpful info.
Thankyou

Probably best to start with a google or YouTube search on how they do it?
And it could possibly look REALLY tacky :(
If it looks tacky ill do it all over again l0l.

I know you have to do something with the logbook, because if not it makes it invalid or something, and it goes on the vehicle's record so may be difficult to sell, it may be difficult to repaint aswell because you might have to put all the layers on again, e.g. primer, paint and whatever else... it might be best to call a local respray shop and ask for help from them? They'll give you basic guidelines. Good luck... I'd like to see the finished product if poss. ? :P

That's quite good.
Taaa +repped all so far (:
how the hell have you managed to write SIX cars off? you shouldn't really have a liscence, and to paint cars use different grades of wet and dry to get it down to the base coat then primer it up spray it then lacquer it but it'll probably come out **** as all rattle canned cars do
also if you change the colour of the car you legally have to inform the dvla no matter what colour and the insurance company if you do it a non standard colour, if i remember correctly its the largest panel of the car that defines the colour on the log book
I jus mess about in them too much. Im not rly a boy racer as i dont speed tht often.
But ta +repped
Well you'll need paint, for a start. And primer, plenty of wet & dry paper and a lot of time on your hands.
You must tell the insurance company or your arse will be out the door.
Erm am I the only one who is getting the impression that he is trying to paint a car which has been written off?
Also as tdi said, how the **** have you managed to wreck six cars? How much is your insurance now?! Mine's already too expensive after one write-off
Noo its a new car l0l.Quote:

cos they were crashed to **** and you couldnt drive them after therefore i call tht written off.
As far as I'm aware (and I wish I'd known this earlier) you don't have to inform the insurance company of an accident that doesn't involve anyone else but a write-off could be a different story. Whole thing sounds a bit dodgy to me so good luck not getting caught and stuff
I think he's referring them as 'written off' as he's deemed them to be himself, as in he's crashed them but not told the insurance company which is perfectly legal as long as you don't injure someone or damage someone else's car and do one, but seriously if you've rolled 3 cars i think you need to get a bus pass or something
also i hope when you say 'new' car, you mean 'new to your ownership' and not 'new off the forecourt'
Yeh new to me, Bought it second hand ;p.
Yeh well they were like non driveable so there was no point claiming on insurance cos it would just make it rocket.
ur clearly lying?? 6 cars behave
Im 20 and ive been driving 3 years..
Why don't you just pay loads to get it painted then you end up with a nice painted car with loads of money spent painting it and you won't wanna' get it scratched or written off.
Satisfaction of a nice painted car, but you'd still be as pissed (if not more) if someone crashed into you. :)
Why not just buy a nice new car and don't paint it/crash it???
