Hi i had both bumpers and the black plastic inserts that you want coloured ,fog light holders , door handles , boot button , grille above the front bumper and 172 spoiler for £180

Basically whole car colour coded and was back to me within 3 days and the job he done was amazing

I already had the side stripes and wing mirrors done.

not worth doing it yourself, if you've not practised on something else before hand it will look bumpy and a mess.

They should fully prep the surface by fully sanding the strips till they're smooth (might be best doing this yourself to save some cash) then they should use highbuild primer, then the colour and then laquer. I'd expect to pay around the 150 quidish mark

hehe.. not going to even attempt it myself lol

150 ish for all the plastic on the car?? thats sounds pretty good


one of my mates brothers is a sprayer in a fords garage.. he said he would do it all for £50! but im not sure whether that is gonna be a proper job, or just a basic one :S

this is still wrong!

you need to sand - plastic primer - sand - high rise primer - sand - spray - sand- spray - laquer and then buff up,

im in the process of having mine done i would say dont be willing to pay anymore then £250 for the lot anymore and its not worht it, i'm paying £300 for colour coding strips,handles and spoiler, fix 2 cracks in front bumper, smooth reg recess out and respray front bumper

i know, i'm simplifying it immensly as i'm sick of writing the full process over and over again. If you want a full and detailled account of the process of spraying search for some of my previous posts on it including grits of sandpaper used etc etc
