That's pretty funny! But saying that I may give it a go just for the sheer hell of it.

I was only going to rattle can mine anyway as going to be through a few gravel traps I imagine so it's a toss up of which pikey method costs me less to do again and again and again...

I painted my old Metro using a paintbrush.

Prep work involved pressure washing the car (first time in two years it was washed), and then drying it with an old bath towel.

Step 1: Apply black tractor paint with a paintbrush.

Step 2: Mask up, using A-Team van as inspiration.

Step 3: Paint stripe using red exterior house paint.

Step 4: Enjoy your final year at uni as your £125 car becomes a cult icon.

Paul added the tears...I think the ZT was supposed to be feeling left out over there!

Michael - It looked bloody brilliant for the first couple of months! Sadly, being subjected to the student life (being parked near student halls etc, being thrown up on/walked over/having chips and coleslaw hurled at it/getting keyed) it died a cosmetic death of sorts, but it was the perfect car for being abused by drunkards! :D
