Rather than continue to hijack the other thread (sorry mas) I shall start my own - Simple question hopefully someone will know the answer to!

Does this car have metallic paint - and how do you tell? (its the same colour as mine)

Best thing to do is find your paint number on your car and then someone will be able to tell you.
P.s i hope you arnt going for that front bumper

thanks chaps.. and pete, no, i'm not going for that bumper!

I thought it was a fairly common colour i've seen a few the same and looks like it probably is metallic from what youve all said, pretty sure camerons was the same colour too.

Reason I asked is 'cos someone on the other thread mentioned you should use T Cut metallic and not normal T cut on the metallic paint as normal T cut damages it... Not that i've noticed any damage from using it - thankfully I only
used it once...:doh:

cheers
