Black.

I would love to have my car sprayed a matt black, as when the weather is frosty before it gets actually iced up, the car turns a matt black and looks awesome, masking all the scratches of a 15 year old car!

Although I suspect it would cost a small fortune for a professional finish!

Depends, if you take out the carpet etc, keep drivrrs seat in it costs around 500gbp round here..im looking at getting mine done to preserve the metal undrrneath...keeping it in a warm garage for 6 years has left it with soft laquer for some reason...

For £500 you will only get blow over in the original colour, for full baked paint job you are looking at nearer £1500 if you do the prep work.
