Your be looking at 200 quid min just for paint primer, base coat & clear coat and hardener. Plus all the misc like paper and filler. Im no painter, but i can tell you that my job was cheap and i could of easily spent 1000's.

Sounds like you need to get down halfords and get some rattle cans and some wet and dry.

Here's my cheapo effort , took all the supplies from my work and borrowed the rest , probably cost around 100 quid on thinners and panel wipe plus cutting compound and borrowed a polishing mop and cut it all back , came out quite good I thought

Before






















Came out quite good I thought for a first attempt at a colour change , car just got wrecked was only used to knockhill and back road blasts , ended up gettin crashed and sold for spares , was good fun while it lasted tho !

Thanks pal


Mines better in the metal mate than it is in pic's.

I have two small thin spots on it that need blowing in, but I want to rag it round track for a year before I bother with that as they're only noticeable by me pointing them out in person.

MikeyRobbo

Was planning on it but genuine ones go for near Ł300! Fuck that for a bumper lol built on a budget gonna try and find a coupe breaking so i can pinch the bumper and the headlights too, then ill debate slamming it on its arse or not.

This cheapy job cost me materials, time and a little bit of effort. It was my first ever attempt on painting anything but just read up loads about it, and speaking to a few sprayers beforehand. Spent 3 weeks in summer just chilling out and doing it but if you put your mind to it, you can have it prepped in a week. The better the prep work the better the finish!

cost me 600 and my hard work
