I purchased my Crossfire a little over three years ago. I loved the Sapphire Silver Colour but deep down I wanted white. White wasn't an option in the UK and to change the colour was a lot of work. It took three years to pluck up the courage, and owning a bodyshop helped a bit. In a moment of madness, I decided to get stuck in. This is how it was done. A full gallery of the respray can be found here…

I started off by removing as many parts as possible from the car.

I found rust damage in one of the doors which needed some attention.

I then started by spraying the engine bay white.

Lot of sanding and rubbing down was done before the painting started.

The vehicle and parts are taken to the spray ovens for masking and pre paint preparation

First coats of paint goes on

Still in the ovens but painting completed. Now we can see how it will look

Wheels, Grilles and vents are colour coded

Back to the fitting shop for the rebuild

Completion. Was it all worth it? OH YES.
