rough cost to spray a few panels.

[matt86]

How much roughly would it be to spray a rear quarter, front splitter, bootlid and horseshoe? About 400-500? Cheers

£500 sounds about right. I tend to budget £150-200 per panel, although my man paints bumpers and things like that for £100, which is considered cheap

[hazd31]

240 per pannel, they will probably do the smaller parts free

[Chris_B86]

Suppose it also depends if you're friendly with your painter, if you're not and you get a cheap quote, I'd be worried about the quality

Rear quarter - £150
Front splitter - £100
Bootlid and horseshoe - £150

Cheers guys, that's what I thought, can't decide whether to get just that done for now, then a full respray later in the year or just a full respray first and save for a couple of months.

probably a waste of money spraying it twice.

Saw a guys from the forum a few days,back in calypso and he paid 1200 and it looked mint, so if this is the case, I'd be better getting a full one first time wouldn't I?

Get it done once and properly mate, don't waste money on having it done twice or to get it blended.

yes ! do once do proper

also be wary about a job thats too cheap, as it may look great at 1st (abeit still not top quality) and will more than likley come back and bite you on the arse a year or so later with blisters and bubbling etc, do good research on paint people to use

My prices I charge are 170 per panel.
But if someone came in and wanted boot lid, quarter panel and splitter id charge 340 all in (cash to a zoner) a usual customer id charge 380 plus vat.

I use standox h/s base coats and standox h/s laqure.

For the info, if its doesnt need a full paintjob dont do it for the sake of it just have bits that need doing done and trizact, compound, machine polish and machine glaze the rest.
