most bodyshops have to mix a minimum amount of paint to do any job, usually about £40.00 worth

if its in the pot and you're paying for it then get the paint put where you want it  :mad:

Do you mind if I ask how much the colour coding is going to sting you?

I've got a quote for £260 for the rear valance and the sides... not too bad I didn't think...

Thats very good.

Is that just painting over the bobbled texture, or will it smooth it out as well?

I've been thinking on this for a while now,if I go ahead I,m only having the back done and then only the upper half of the rear.(If you get me).

Reason.

I have Pescaras on,I like em but dont wanna be an ED30 lookalike by having all the skirts done.

Yeah - that's what I'm going for - the rear valance will only be painted above the groove bit... think it'll good great (hopefully!)

prepree - I'm in Newbury, but the bodyshop I'm going to is near Basingstoke... quite far for you to go! But good luck in finding a good place - I'm lucky that the bodyshop I'm going to is well known round here for being excellent, but fairly priced!  :grin:
