Right as some of you no i have a space framed mk2 fiesta that is still in bair metal.

The car its self its built for the purpose of drag racing and light road use.

Now as im in the stage of building the car up before i strip it back down again to have it painted. As i dident want to have it painted then have to grind the paint off to weld brackets/rad mounts ect

So the plan was to build it up to as near compleat as i could before strip down/paint ect.

Right hears why im thinking i keep getting quoted £600-£800 to paint it as its a complex cage that i can fully understand tbh as looks a lot of work involved.

But after seeing a few mates cages that haven't even seen the road yet the tube frame it self seems to chip really easy. Now i dont wanna cash out X amount for the paint to keep chipping off. As lets face it the engine/car will be stripped down a lot in the Future and i dont want to have to keep having it repainted ect.

My boss hand painted the underside of his stag and it looks more than up to a standard i would be happy with tbh!

I like the idea of if i chip it/catch it i can Touch it in hear and there!

What do you think? Yes i no paint will allways look 100 times better but the car is built for a purpose and winning show and shine is not one of them!
