Too dear ?

stevenedgar · 15th August 2012, 16:41

still have that annoying grey trim round the car and wanted it painted. got two quotes one was 45o and one was 400. Is there anywhere in central Scotland a little cheaper lol ( needing the gp splitter done too )

If that's to remove all the trims and paint them, that's not too bad a price.

The arches and sill trims are textured so they need to be sanded for a smooth finish.

stevenedgar · 15th August 2012, 17:21

only takes half an hour to an hour to remove if not lazed at lol didnt think of the texture

might just go for that that then

dobe · 15th August 2012, 17:25

4 arches, 2 sills and both your bumpers stripped in an hour, jeez your quick!

I have heard he is good.
Never had any work done with him though.
Can you shed any light?

£400 is a good quote ,it sounds a lot ,but paint material is not cheep.The actual grey plastic is not textured,i'm lucky i did my own because i'm a paint sprayer and work in a body shop.You would get it cheaper if you took the plastics of your self .You would save £100 at least.if they do, do the job make sure they paint it in base and clear.and not a solid red ,as this will fade and go pink.

I got my spoiler, arch trims sprayed and moulded to fit the type r splitters.

Re sprayed the splitters and blown in a mark on the front and rear bumper for £250

Luckily I got a mate who works in a body shop. The primer is expensive for this type of platic as well.

He had just finished serving his time when I was there Scott, but I've heard from a few people that he turns out a good job.

stevenedgar · 15th August 2012, 21:47

nice one mate cheer

scoosh-89 · 19th August 2012, 10:14

Car went in early on friday morning at got it back friday night.

GP splitter all painted up and fitted, arches washed in as they were scuffed at the sides and had the old splitter painted up as well.

The guys have a good job. there are some very minor imperfections, some slight dust specs under the paint but you need to look hard and its down low on the car but for £140 for all the work carried out i was pretty happy with it.

stevenedgar · 19th August 2012, 13:57

simons in irvine was it?
