spray shop needed
Discussion
ok guys i have purchased some aero side skirts for the Z4 these are a BMW part so come primed and ready for spraying.
A spray shop i have used before have quoted me £250 unfitted this seems a bit steep for some thing that's needs no fetling or hardly or none at all prepping.
Anyone own a spray shop or knows of some one who could do it cheaper?
The colour is Stirling Grey

ops sorry guys i live in Reading Might be worth trying 'Little knocks' (or something very similar) in Molly Millars Lane Wokingham. I've heard good reports of their work from other PHers, no idea of costs though.
I can't believe the price of painting these days (or some of the poor results I've seen posted by some). I've always sprayed my own cars in the past, but my garage is full of bits of RS2000 at the moment otherwise I'd have offered to help.

I won't go into details on this list John but steer well clear of that lot.I can't believe the price of painting these days (or some of the poor results I've seen posted by some).

I've used them on three occasions, and they have always delivered excellent results, at good prices. I will be using them again soon.

They absolutely ruined my previous car. I'm not just being deliberately scandalous. It was literally ruined and how they dealt with me after was shocking. I appreciate companies can make mistakes but not at the level they did, and to be treated the way I was when I gave them every opportunity to deal with the issues... Shocking I tell thee! One excuse for their terrible work was that the lighting in their workshop wasn't bright enough to see the faults. Erm?!

Cheers guys for the tips , i have a mate at work who does up cars and sells them on as a bit of a hobby. His work is as good as any professional work shop, the only problem is he doesn't have a oven and has to air dry everything, hes happy to do them for me but says because of the time of year might not be the best of jobs but to be honest hes a bit of a perfectionist and i know it would be a great job, plus its only costing me materials. so circa £80
Not a bad outcome in the end then. If the finish turns out a bit orange peel you could always wait until the paint fully hardens, then wet flat with P2000/3000 grade and then machine polish...they'll look like glass after that. A lot of my spraying was done in poor conditions (dusty garage, suicidal flies and cold weather), I'd just wet flat then polish up, but back then I didn't have a machine polisher (so I was a bit thinner than I am now
