all depends, what do you want done ? a quick freshen up on the car paint over, or it all taken off and stripped down ie all the bumper,kit, all taken apart and rubbed 100% right down all over and a proper paint job...

Would have thought a few hundred quid as a ballpark figure. Maybe as little as 150 or as much as 350 depending on what gets done exactly..

I have just done mine, taken off, sanded right back and sprayed. It is a thankless task, took the best part of a day to prep :cry:
