I have an Arden Blue corsa as well :) I love the colour but with this one I didn't really want to do it the same colour, if you get me haha. I was thinking maybe atlantis blue or whatever it is, or satin red or black. I just can't decide!! Ha

You can put a blue metal flake in the first coat of laquer.if your yousing blue.
It hides the flake well! Until your car is in the sunlight. Will sparkal ..
Got blue to green flake over a black bace on my corsa.looks good..
The metal flake you usaly use, is close to the colour of your car. Grate effects !!!

What a waste of money.
Why spend more than the cars worth changing the colour?

because some people are car enthusiasts and like to modify there car and get it looking clean and tidy to how they want it, then you get boring people moaning and arguing about what other people want to spend there well hard earned money on! if he wants to spend his money on getting his car nice and sprayed to colour he likes, then just leave him to it instead of complain about costs and what cars worth!!!

Sorry didn't know he was your boyfriend :P
Anyway I'm not boring, I'm big into my modding but it's a huge waste of money totally respraying a car that's worth naff all.
Would make a lot sense to getting it resprayed the same colour to make it look a little fresher OR getting it professionally detailed and get some paint correction.
Will bring the paint up looking really good.
