Title: How should I go about this?
Post by: Garth on April 24, 2010, 10:57:51 am

I now have a lot of parts that need painting:
1 wing mirror
full rear bumper
full front bumper
both side skirts
new bootlid (£30 for a brand new one, BARGAIN!)
bonnet

Would I be just as well to get the whole car resprayed, or get all those bits done separately? I was going to colour code the bumpers and side skirts myself since I have a compressor and spray gun etc, but now I have all the other bits to paint, I can't be arsed to do it myself. Any idea on the cost of getting all that lot sprayed?

For each piece you want sprayed it has to blown in to the connecting panels or it wont match correctly, you may as well get the whole car done.  :smiley:

Thanks guys, that's what I feared  :sad1:
I really don't have the time or energy to be spraying cars any more. I did all that stuff 10 years ago!
