Otherwise,pricewise he's not too far away really as their big old arches on them and you'll be near enough painting the 1/4 and if its metallic laquering the door/s as well,both sides.
Time he's bought the arches at about £40-50 for the pair,seamsealer,etch prime,prep and paint it's a fair bit of work.
well i bought the car about 3 years ago and the guy had it sprayed in that rs frozen white. looked awsum. and about a year ago the offside arch just started bubbling with water then paint flaked off, looks a state. the other arch isn't that bad but its starting to bubble so might aswell get both done.
but on focus's the rear arch liners are carpet like material that absorb water, so wouldn't no what to do about sorting them out. but il get some pics posted up tomoz and you can see for your self.
