Colour coding bumper trim?

[jenic]

Got a few options for this.

1) buy some trim, spray it, swap with my original trim so i can use the car with trim while spraying

2) remove my trim, spray it, but drive around trimless while spraying

Problems are door handles and spoiler, and the fact i am not confident in spraying. The guide also makes it look like a lot of hard work.

Finally the best option imo:

3) get a body shop to do it, but how much should it cost? how long will they need my car in to do it?

Any help appreciated
Mike

you can always tell when someone done it themselves so id let the pros do it,but not sure on prices cos im no loner in the motor trade.somewhere around £200 for the lot colour coded (bumpers,door trims,handles and spolier)sounds bout right.

Peice of piss to do tbh fella, just save yourself some money and do it yourself.
Just take your time as the guide says and you cant go that wrong

its all in the prep.
make sure your 100% happy with the smoothness after sanding, before you start spraying.
go right down the grades.
you can also sand after the first layer of primer to get any bumps out.

Thanks for the replies, today the local body shop has quoted £200 for door trim, front and rear bumper trim, spoiler and door handles. Need the car for 2 days.

Bargain, getting it done in Feb when i have a week off.
