hey everyone so i have two people coming to give me quotes on spraying the mini tomorrow and was wondering if some one could give me some rough prices so i cna try and haggle a little bit and know what to expect. so i have replaced the front end and its still in the black from the new pannels. have already done the inside of the arches so only external pannels need doing.
so im after two prices (colour is BRG and white roof)
1st prices- just the front end from the shuttle forward
2nd price- for whole car whith a few chips of mainon the doors need looking at but rest is fine and the white roof resprayed as well
* prices to include paint and labour
what sort of prices can i expect for either or could be best if you do spraying as well so i get a rough price on what they offer me
thnaks alex

Prices for a paint job can vary by huge amounts depending on how good a finish you are after.
Its all down to the time spent and the quality of prep work, rub downs and paint layers.
If you can, paint the whole car. That way there is no chance of having a mis-match of colour between the front end and the rest of the car.
Fresh paintwork can also look different to 'aged' paintwork, even if its a great colour match so keep that in mind as well.
You pays your money and takes your chances I'm afraid.
Make sure you use someone who you know you can easily go back to if you are not happy with the paint job tho !
I use a very good firm in Ammanford for all my paint jobs which is probably a bit far away from you. They aint cheap but they are very good.

As long as you stay as far away from Geoff Findley in Swansea as possible you cant go too far wrong.
My respray with him was actually falling off as I was driving...Went to court in the end...
