Hey guys

Next issue of Dunce Questions By A Dunce:

My car is a 1990 Flame Red. What colour code should it be so I can pick up some paint? Is it on the vin plate thing?

Also, what thickness mild steel sheet should I pick up to make some body repairs? (practice at the mo, but have some ideas for things I want to do).

Best place to buy metal online?

Thanks

Paint code is on the vin plate.

just google it and you will find what you need.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

1mm steel should be OK
