a spray job will cost me anywhere between 20 and 1200 pounds, depending how much i do myself, what paint i want, what colour i want, if i want the engine out to do the engine bay.

if i wanted something like just an outer shell, matte white, would be less than 100 bucks.
as its alot easier to do then people think when its matte paint!

if i went for, my origional plan, of house of kolor candy apple red, which imo is nothing less than the sex! would be 800, 500 if i prep it myself!
i got a mate who owns a very good body shop so i pay for the paint and a few beers, he will spray it basically.

lowerd 110 on the front
130 on the rear.

Haha

I do think skyblue would look niceee! But I forbid you to use a pale pastel blue! That will be my colour this year

I think a white would look smart, with everything smooth it has the potential to look nice nice

Just been visualizing that and I like that idea! But for some reason I think a cream colour would also look nice!
Yeah, I think I got a full tub of professional filler from local motor factors for £5 should be able to do a full kit with a tub...But wouldn't you vibrate it all apart?

EDIT: Just realised you sold your install lol
