600 euros to get the car painted would not be the best job in the world but at this time it was all i could afford, got it done in a small shop in baltinglass cant remember your mans name of hand, if interested i will get his name and number and post it here..... for the money i am well delighted earlier i was quoted 500 just for the front bumber from a guy on the n81 near blessington

Nice looking ride chuck!

Did you get a full respray or did the painter do a touch up type thing?

600 was for everthing repaired parking dents on doors couple of small dings here and there, he did all the prep and supplied the paint plus i have a jam jar full of paint :D :D for touch ups and chips in the future, have not had the time to give it a good going over because of the weather but i did notice a small run on the back panel as good a car as it is its still 11years old so not to bothered,

He did my pals integra black with silver fleck repaired huge gash in door and panel and fixed a broken rear bumper all for 500 notes so i think i was ripped off :shock: :shock:

God forgive me for saying this but it looks a bit like an old model Hundai Coupe without the spoiler.

Nice spray job though.

That looks sweet chuck - welcome to the spoilerless club :smt023 - we'll have to start our own breakaway group.

All it needs now is to loose the rear lock from the boot and you'll be clean as.
