come on.... we can live in hope... but seriously, properly prepped panels, and waxoiled annually, you can get 5 - 6 years plus... It is possible...!
This might be a daft question but when changing the colour of a car do you have to primer the hole car? or do you just primer the areas where you have used filler or down to bare metal?

It depends on what colour your chaging to and from..
But primer is cheap and easy to spray, if your going to all the effort you might as well do it properly.. for the sake of about £20 extra.
But in answer to your question..
You can get away with just priming the filled areas and keying the other good paint.
I know some will disagree with what I say, but it is relative to the fact that most of the members on here are running their minis on a shoestring budget and just trying to keep things ticking along.
Also most of the cars are not going to be show cars, just reasonable looking everyday run abouts, so spending £1200 on a pro paint job is not logical for some.
