You'd paint both sides..
Would depend on what prep was needed imo... And if you stripped the car ready

£600 - upwards at a rough guess...

I paid £3000 per car on 2 cars last yr, both 205's, one was stripped and had 100 litres of high build due to the T16 body kit then full repaint, the other was them stripping the car and repainting nearly all of it and then re-assemble. The first one was quite involved and my mate who painted it said a normal customer would have been £5800 after all the prep they did (there was zero rust but lots of rippled panels)

That's fair enough. But if you change your mind I'm in the process of taking over a bodyshop.

I've had half a dozen quotes to paint my sapphire. Most around £2.5k mark. I've seen cheap spray jobs (£1k for M3) which hadn't been baked in a oven and it marked really easily. I also know someone who spent £20k on having a top notch job done on his Jag.
