Save about £100 and get all the bits you need, paint/primer/hardener/thinners/sandpaper/tack rags etc and spray it yourself.

Cole i paid £70 for 2 pack Vauxhall Flame Red, thinners, tack rags, sanding discs and 3m Scotchbrite. Was enough to do a full Corsa and still have quite a bit left over. There's a place in Stoke that i got it from. Might have gone up in price since though as it was a couple of years ago.

I said about, although I'm sure I spent less than that on 5L of thinners, 1L of hardener, tack rags, paint primer and sandpaper.

will 99.9% of time look shite if you do it in your garage, but that depends on how much of a detail freak you are. Cheapest thing would be get the car blown over in the original colour, probably about 600£,
Could have it blown over in the same colour with a slight different flake orsomething in it? You wont notice it in the shuts engine bay etc.
