1. How long should I leave it for, after it's stripped, before I get it painted up..? And how do I leave it, like in a sealed bag or anything?
2. I want to get it painted profesionally, so what sort of place should I take it to? Will any spray shop be able to paint it with correct paint?
3. Not sure what colour to paint i yet. My mate mentioned a paint that changes with different heat... Is this any good, or is it gay?

I dont think its worth having it done pro - do it with rattle cans, should be plenty good enough.

I'd rather pay to get it done right to be honest...

Nope, I'm not really up with paint and stuff, so would powder paint be a good thing to get it done in? I'd kinda like something that's not very common, like...
Oh, and I dont really have anywhere to spray it myself... The garage is full of my flatmate's rubbish, and I dont really want to do it indoors...

Doesn't look like I'll be getting it blasted any time soon! My mate's gone away for 2 weeks!
I'll probably just get it sprayed a normal colour and put the A+ sticker back on it... Would ideally like a brand new A+ sticker, but these seem hard to find!

Wouldnt call it bling either retro chrome - ewww

I painted mine a few times, It's back to black now.
Just use regular car paint. It did well till i spilt breke fluid on it. Apart from that it's fine. I'm even using ultra cheap paint this time with no trouble.
I used a red oxide primer and then some cheapo spray paint.
