ok ive just had my car resprayed costing £370 not bad i thought however i have done the majority of the work.
i have done:
All filler and sanding.
removal of all parts
by myself it was in the workshop for 1 and a half days
the guy helped with masking and flattening the primer he also did all the painting the car wasnt completely resprayed the bonnet roof and boot were left normal does this sound expensive or about right i havent got a clue. its done in flame red by the way

Sounds fucking cheap 
I would normally budget at least a grand for a respray. S'pose you did a lot of the work yourself.
You happy with it?

not sure what to do about corner splitters dont particulurly like them myself but cant find a nice splitter anywhere,
the paint job isnt quite finished so yeh at the moment boot and bonnet havent been blended to exactly the same colour shows up alot on the photos no where near as much in real life though. cheers for the comments guys i like the subtle old skool look.

to be fair custom has one of the mintest 5 doors around with a front bumper a lot more classy than the corner splitters...
