Jake Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I took my car to a local bodywork place (the one Mark Ayling's crashed Supra was at) to get a price for the paintwork I need doing. It's just a respray of the OS wing and both the rear spats and I'm supplying the paint. He's quoted me £220 for the job and I'm OK with that but he was telling me that the 2k laquer he'll have to use on my paint* is gonna be £65 Can that be right? Seems like a lot of money for the volume of lacquer involved. *= Rage Extreme Shockwaves - Thunderstorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember the time when giving old bangers a blow over (God, I've left myself open here ) before sticking them in the auctions, you could get round the car with a litre of Gypfast. Total cost about 20 quid Not a quality job you understand , but it brightened it up (and hid the rust ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
