haha got ya thinking.......................

take the windows out, doors off.... seals off door.

i reckon 800 for a decent job.

Prep it yourself?

 

[Peperami]

Give sprayer a chewie?

Kidnap his kids and ask for a spray job as ransom?

Remove all glass?

Prep it yourself?

its all in the prep though,i've seen loads of paint jobs ruined by poor prepping

 

[fUbAr]

white over black is asking for trouble tbh

 

[ben_p]

can be done though?

 

[TeZ]

Yes, As said above i no its all in the prepping i didnt mean Paint Soz, like above tho selas all lil fidly things you can do.

 

[xcore]

1000-1500 for a decent job imo

 

[ben_p]

how long would it normally take?

 

[fUbAr]

around a week seems to be the usual time scale.

 

[ben_p]

cool. just need to find a decent bodyshop then

why dont you just get a white shell. I was also told you can get a new shell for a grand?

 

[Final Maxim]

about a grand, but you could bring the cost down a shitload by getting some aerosols mixed up in the colour your having it and spray all the insides yourself, door appatures etc, so the bodyshop only has to mask it once and spray it once.

prep it yourself too, pretty easy aslong as theres no damage.

i reckon you could get the cost down to around £500 for a mask n blast.

what you mean by prep FM?

im planning on spraying the bay and the inside myself.

also the front and rear bumpers are already off as is the bonnet.

well have you got an electric sander?

you can go over the lot of the car with p320 so its all dull and you cant see no black.

all the edges the sander cant get to use p320 by hand or get yourself some gray scotchbrite pads.

any stone chips just feather them out slowly with your p320, will take some time but it saves dropping to p180 and leaving scratches, so stick with your p320 all over.

any dents?

ide say goto a bodyshop and ask them how much it will cost to mask up a car and spray it, no prep involved.

then ask them how much it will cost to prep your car, tell them any damage etc, and to paint it.

if theres a big enough saving to do it yourself then do it, if not, then just get the bodyshop to do it

 

[ben_p]

where you based FM?
