Glad someone else lives in the real world.

There was me thinking that I must have imagined the paint prices I was quoted only yesterday

Funny the subject of paint should crop up.

Just so happens that my eldest lad got a quote recently for a full re-spray of his Subaru.
1.7k -2k max, inclusive of all door closures.

This quote was from a highly respected local company well renowned for its top notch custom paintwork.

Poor old Scooby is suffering from the dreaded Red paint syndrome & going dull if not polished weekly .... Well apart from the plastics I painted over 3 years ago with a budget ICI paint product, still looking as good as the day I sprayed them

Sorry Spud

This is all geting very much off topic

Bet you have made a big hole in that list of panels being sold for not a lot
