But brilliant work as always iaz

i dont really want to quote cos i really dont have time for next 3-4 months! also depends on how gooder job u want, if u want me to strip whole car for painting to get in all cracks and place hard to get like door shuts or just paint car in one!!! all that makes difference in time taken to prep the car etc and put it back after painted!!!
I wont have the cash till a good few months anyways mate, just want an idea on prices, I want a good job but the door shuts wont need doin, what i'm after is bonnet painted, new gsi bumper painted, arches and skirts painted (no orange peel effect) and boot painted oh the B pillars will need done as well.
U2U me a rough price for all this mate

PROGRESS FROM DAY 7:-
not really to much noticable to report really........... yesterday day was mainly spent sorting jagcorsa stuff out in afternoon, then putting car in one peice for shane who owns the car to come have a look today, he came to have look and really happy with progress!!!!
have made brakets for the skirts to keep them nice and stable so thats cool, just taken the bumpers off AGAIN, to fit these little backets which i always do on my bumper so instead of gluing mesh in u can cable tie it in........cos when u wanna change it its VERY easy, just cut the ties and put new stuff in instead of cutting it out cos its been firbreglassed in!!!!
he is having saxo spoiler also so have got to get this standard one off and could not be bothered to find a knife being as its 2 in morning so given up for now, started taking rubbers off doors and door frames also now!!
few pics:-

Just a quick thought... have you ever used onion boards to mix your fillers on? You get them from any good bodyshop suppliers, and they only cost about £5 for a 100 sheet pack. Much easier!

LOL! Another beaut about them is they're non absorbant, so they don't take anything out of your mix.
Also consider having a tub of acetone to drop your plastic spreaders in... leave them for a few days to soak, and the filler & crap just falls off em - good as new again!

u found that piping the spreaders after then wiping with some thinners gets the filler off straight away also!!!! u work at SQ+ u must be a pro at fibreglass work, my install in jagcorsa is stunning quality and done good few years ago now!

i usually just let it go hard and use a blade to get most of it off spreader then just use a bit of thinners to get it all off, but i am not really too bothered about them because i get them in packs of a hundred
