so soon I will be getting my car painted. just wondering the cost you guys have payed in the past. my car is fully stripped down and welding all done there will be a little bit of filling for them to do but not much. so what did you pay for yours to be painted. the guy doing mine did a car for me a few years ago. due to the car being stripped already so its just prep and paint and I will put all the bit back on bumpers front wings etc,,,

 

what work did they do to your and how much did you pay

just to far away from me.

I had a friend of the family spray mine, so i prepped the and primed the car, took all the bits off, he painted it, we colour sanded, he compound and buffed.

 

I supplied the paint, was £45 a litre and used 3 litres and he charged me £500 :thumbup:

 

He did a great job, but as its been stood for a year under a car cover, i have some colour sanding and buffing to do and have some craze/cracks in the bumpers, so im going to re spray them myself in the workshop.

 

It took him about 3 days to paint and another day of compound and polishing and putting back together.

For what i paid i cant complain and as all the main panels are near spot on, im happy to re-do the little bits that i want right and will end up with a really good finish :thumbup1:

 

It is by no means a perfect show finish, but it will be close and after nearly 4 years of being in primer i will be happy just to be able to polish her instead of rubbing down lol

 

just to far away from me.

 

 

He is 1h30 from me but as people say, finding the right guy is hard.

 

I would have travelled further if needed

T.mogsy on here had his done by a chap in North Wales and the finish was really good

Anyone had a job from Keith? [emoji3] (KJZ32)
