painting spoiler and skirts

Right now my cd player is in, my skirts and spoiler have just turned up in the post, wahooo!!

I've got a garage I can use to do the painting but cant decide if I should take it down the bodyshop to get them sprayed or if I should try them myself, anyone got any advice on what I should do?

If you've done it yourself do you have any tips and if you paid a sprayshop how much did it cost?

thanks

SJ, do a search, I know chromegrey did some good work in this area. I will have a look now.

i would use a bodyshop, you can't get the gloss shine that the pro's get from a can - it's ok for small areas like bumper inserts etc

you could always fit the bits yourself to save some money - i'm doing my skirts soon, they are all painted and ready to fit

Good advice. I will ask Midland Fiat for a price to code my bump-strips tomorrow, They are fitting my springs. CG, where abouts are you in WM?

CG, thanks for the advice, thats what I was thinking about doing...getting them done by a pro and fitting them myself.....going to see what it looks like when done and then decide if I want the bump strips done later (would be happy to give them a go myself though).

Now I need to make a few calls to get some prices for spraying...anyone got any idea what kinda prices I should be execting to be quoted? I will let you know how much my quotes are later.

Cheers!

PNL paid about £150 for a top job. Seems a good price to me.

Well ive just paid £750 to have a whole bodykit fitted and sprayed, spoiler, bump strips and door handles

What area are you in?

Take it your not going to Brooklands then?

It was £160 just for the rub strips but the total cost of the spraying including rub strips and fitting the body kit was £1130 and that also included a total respray of the front

So have you got your car back then Matt ? lets see the finished result come on you always kept on to me about pics

Brookland goers will get the first unveiling of the car, i'll post pics of it after saturday, was going to get some done but i didnt pick the car up till 6:30 this evening and ive been cleaning it up since

It's so not fair, just a glimpse? Even with poor lighting it will look good.

Oi you get that car out there under a street lamp


I WANT A PIC NOW

Hey folks Matts gone quiet do you think he is outside with his camera and a lead light

Can't wait to see the photos...
