Get it wrapped its cheaper if you want to keep the cost down !!
With bodywork these 2 words are polar oppositesOriginally Posted by richybeno
my mate works for bmw and he will do me an amazing respray and at mates rates !!! but i cant afford over a grand and a half !!
some companies will come out to you set up a tent over your car and do a blow over for 800 ! but its only a blow over in a standard colour
if you want a full spray inc. door shuts boot shut ect then and a custom colour the you may want to set a side two G's easy !!
as i said befor !! get it wrapped
A good wrap will be as much as a cheap respray. A cheap wrap will almost invariably look terrible. With bodywork, thee's very rarely a cheap solution.
Hey mate, speak to nick Bolton, he's got his own place and ask him to give you a quote, he's good at what he does. 07831 157209
In Banbury as well
A dichotomy, one might sayWith bodywork these 2 words are polar opposites
sweet cheers all.
I dont think wrapping is for me, looks cheap and if I'm going to pay the money for a good wrap, i may aswell get it sprayed.

Good wrap or cheap respray hmm ..
It depends on what you consider cheap really. With a respray you're not only paying for paint & materials, and the painter's skill and time, but the hours of prep work beforehand just getting the car ready to paint. This involves sanding every single surface, nook, and cranny, removing any imperfections & contaminants, and filling/more sanding if needed. Not to mention stripping everything off the car, including glass, and meticulously masking off anything that doesn't come off. You could easily spend a few hours prepping a bonnet alone, for example.
You can bring the cost down a tad if you do a lot of prep yourself, ie stripping the car, and sanding everything back, an delivering essentially a bare shell to the painters. But if you want that all done for you, I'm afraid you're going to have to fork out, if you want it done properly.
Oh, and a good vinyl wrap will always look better than a cheap respray. With the added bonus of being able to remove it if you change your mind. A respray is a touch more permanent.
sounds like you need the rat look!

I've used the plastidip not overly impressed with it easy enough to get on but a complete ball ache if you need to remove or make a mistake
I'm toying with the idea of trying plastidip sometime soon. I thought its supposed to be fairly easy to remove if you decide you don't like it?
Most painters (quite rightly) don't like other people to do the prep. The prep has such a huge influence on the finished result.
That's true. Worth having a chat to them beforehand though, and seeing if you can strike a deal.
