what about using ford 70's metalic purple (the name escapes me) but not lacquer it? Being a stock colour, easy (and cheap) to get hold of

If you were to execute that as in the photoshop.... you would get arrested.... not that you would not deserve it. It would distract everything and everyone in 500yard radius. Yep, that should be done, but it has to be in JS Purple. I work with Purple every day, and some clients call me the "Purple rep"

I'd look for the cheapest bright paint I could find, and dye my hair that colour instead to save money. ;D
...now just need to give one of my Capris a mohawk...

What he said.. Have a look about for photo's of BiAS's Vitara. One coat of rollered Dulux (I think) satinwood. Used hardly any paint too ;D

As Ben says, BiAS (Ian) has roller painted his Vitara (AKA Shitara) in satin grey Dulux paint (Satinwood)
It's oil based so once dry is very tough....it's the stuff you paint on skirting boards, doors etc...and is totally waterproof.
Ian's car has been through some serious off-roading exploits and the paint is still unscratched and unscathed!
Anyway, Land Rovers came from the factory with hand painted finish didn't they? I've yet to see one that isn't ;D ;D
