i had my s2 done in standox diamond white then a coat of standox clearcoat last year. the paint alone cost me Ł450 and then Ł700 in labour. i stripped the car to bare shell myself and then they did all the prep work etc. i have loads of pics of it but i still have worked out how to upload pics i can email you some pics to show the finish

thing is with cheap paint jobs they all look good from a distance , all nice and shiny, its when you look at the details the story changes!!

all good bodyshops wont allow you to prep your own car unless your best pals with them, so really for a basic paint job and if no panels are required then you would be looking at around the Ł1k mark.

most places round here would charge around Ł2k for a full job

i have previously had a paint job that cost me Ł300 that looked spot on [so i thought] then one that cost nearly Ł3k, you might say you could notice the difference

my place would easily charge 2-3k but that would be the bollox and guaranteed. if u pay something like Ł400 chances are your gonna get a shit job and corners will be cut

You get what you pay for when it comes to painting. The paint alone for my car cost Ł52 + VAT per litre.
