    How long is a piece of string really, you pay for what you get in paint, and also how much prep work and rust is needed to be sorted aswell

    I'd paint someone's car for £150. Would only cost £30 in cans and newspaper for masking I'll get off my nan! Not too sure how it would turn out though!

    ^

    I paid around £1000 for my full repaint. That was engine bay, door shuts, the whole shooting match. BUT, my mate (bodyshop worker) and i (i made tea and passed him sand paper, cleaned up ) did 90% of the prep work, rubbing down base coat of primer etc. So all the paint shop had to do was tack rag, mask up and paint!

    As said, you do 100% get what you pay for. Take a look at Nick J's WIP threads, you see the attention to detail he pays, and his results show!!

    They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....

    A grand does sound like a reasonable number to aim for, but if you give it them in a right state (arches hanging off, holes in doors etc) and a complete car (glass etc) it's gonna cost more I imagine.

    Hand over anything less that a stripped rolling shell with no rust issues and pay less than a grand and you will regret it.

    Just as a rule of thumb, of course.
