all depends on the painter at the end of the day i supose

if your in no rush for the car ask him to take his time and he will do a better job cus no one pestering him all the time

im getting my cossie resprayed it goes in on friday and they quoted me 400-500 quid and thats a full shell respray and take 1 sideskirt off and bond it back on
do the prep and everything

but im supplying the paint and everything so that cut cost etc



just ask him if thats for a full respray or just the work u mentioned

also leave it black, they look the dogs in black

If you want a PUKKA PUKKA spray job, I was quoted Ł1500, but would look like a mirror

so if you want a full respray tell him mate as it could look different colours under certain light

ask him how much for a full paint job
mite aswell if having all that work done why not freshen the whole car instead of bits here and there

t cut down on labour cost tell him you will take all glass, trimmings, etc and you would put them back on


the less he has to mask up and take on and off the easier and cheaper it is for you because its saving him and you time
