i've just read your topic in the painting hints and tips about your recent quote.

£3200 ???? are you having 24ct gold paint?

have you tried the paint shop down town? by the scrap yard, behind the chippy just off hewel road? i've heard they're damn good.
i had a quote from them when i was looking around, before i decided to diy( big mistake) i think i was quoted £800 - £1000 for inside and out 2 tone, self prep.

[dean_chad]

There is paint jobs and there is paint jobs. A lad at work paid £3.5k to get his fiesta done in white (max power car of the year 2005? i think), I though he was mad until I saw it, it was beautiful - two white primer coats - sanded, about 8 layers of paint - sanded - 2 or three clear coats then polished. - Fantastic! Money well spent
