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?

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:
