Local place wanted £3000 to paint it  |
Queer that one Mark, just asked the body shop across from me and if somebody walked in off the street he priced £300 for a full 10 piece body kit including base coat and lacquer. To do individual panels, to a professional finish, would be obviously a lot less. You can purchase spray basecoat from most motor factors now to any colour to do yourself at a very reasonable price.
Somebody's been had there.
