First off, I'm not at all worried about the "resale" value of my '98 V70 T5 because I figure it doesn't have any.
Secondly, I'm thinking there are some really cool colors out there that would look great on a Volvo wagon. (I've always had a fondness for Audi's "Nimbus Grey," for example. Talk about a stealth wagon!)
I plan to do the job myself, in my own driveway, using one of those portable garage tents as my "spray booth." Other than a couple of small door dings, my car needs no body work, though I imagine that the scores of bugs to sand out of the clearcoat will make up for that a bit.
I plan to respray everything but the engine bay. Yes, I know that's tacky, but I don't care. Should I pull the motor one day, then I'll spray the bay, too, but I'm not doing it just to shoot some color.
So, any suggestions for colors? Am I nuts? A good friend of mine has offered to lend advice and a bit of help. He works here, http://www.sports-car-restoration.com/ so I assume he knows what he's talking about.
