how much is a decent price? cos most sprayers will shun away as it wont be worth it.. after materials, electricity and drying time, and prep etc... all adds up to make it worth while for the sprayer. hope you wernt expecting someone to do it for 50£!! think youll be looking at 100 personally. cos its like the minimum.

willing to travel?

cos its a annoying job with little profit margin after you take the cost of materials/electricity etc etc.... they may not tell you this directly,, but they will reflect it in the prices i wouldnt be surprised if some body shops will ask for 130-150 though im guessing you prob dont want to pay more then 100 as i know i wouldnt, especially for something like a spoiler.

talk to dips, he does this kinda thing for good prices and excellent finishes (im sure youve seen his work), prob cos your a zoner,,,

Dips is your man for this Dom, he colour coded Sarah's mtec 1 complete body kit for me and i must say the colour match was spot on fella - he then proceeded to help me fit it to the car as well - what more could i ask for??
