average price of spraying a body kit
is that fitted aswell or just sprayed, many body shops wont get out of bed for less than £60 an hour if not more
i can get a full respray for £800 but thats cause i know someone in the trade, u could be looking to pay anything between £300 - £600 for a kit to be sprayed add another £200 if u want it fitted

how hard is a kit to fit cause it doesnt look to hard to take the old one off??
might aswell buy a compressor and do it your self compressor will only be about £130 and you usaly get some bits free like spraygun with them.mintass11 said:
normally kits are harder to fit than standard parts cause they are moulds from moulds, so may need more prep work and lining up first too make sure that they matchmintass11 said:
a compressor is a good idea but u need some confidence and idea what u are doing
thing is id have no idea how to do ne of it!
You're right it is not too hard to remove and refit a body kit. But there are some things you should think about.
You will usually find one or more screws/bolts rusted in, so be prepared for the possibility of having to drill out screws or replace screw clips.
As Gaz says, the holes may not line up and the cast may not be fully true, so you may have to be a bit creative in what you do out of sight of envious eyes.
Most times it will be ok, just be prepared for the gremlins.
I would only consider buying a compressor and gun if you are competent with a spray can and have a garage that you can turn into a paint tent for a week.
Shop around for a better quote, you should be able to get it down to £300 - £400, sometimes the bigger repair shops can give you cheaper quotes than the small guys when it comes to painting. You will also get up to 6 years warranty on the works.

yeah that sounds better! cause the guy i went to is a small firm specialist in body spraying n he was £600! there are a couple of others close to me! so ill jus check them out! who would u recomend as a big company to go or do u mean chains or jus bigger garages?
you dont need a garage a £20 gazzebo and some £1.50 shower curtains make good spray booth
i think ill let the pros do it dont wnna spend all that cash n then mess my whole car up!
Check the yellow pages for insurance specialists or large ads. It may take 10 calls, but if it saves you a £100....
