I thought that was quite cheap fora  brand new tinted windscreen,
They just settin up there own business cause they on short time at a big local body shop,
So they wanna get more work out of my car,
I just hope its a good job cause even though its cheap, Its still a lot of money if its shoddy,,

In all honesty, £800 would barely cover the paint and materials... If they want to drum up business by working for peanuts, I guarantee it'll catch them out, sooner or later

Looking forward to seeing it finished though

Does this depend on the paint you buy etc? Only reason I ask is that the paint and materials for spraying mine are not even near half that.

What have you bought Nick? or what are you looking to buy...

Thom

[Horney]

Not bought anything myself. The chap who's spraying it said ballpark £70 for the white for the inside and outside the shell and about £40 for the two blues for the stripes. On top of that about £50 for the clear coat, high build primer and satin black for the cage (essentially a chip in cost to cover what I use from his stock as he always has these in quantity). All celly.

Was making a list as you posted Danny

For something like Nicks car done in decent 2k products, I use Topcoat on my race car builds, including doing the graphics in paint

5 ltrs of Topcoat colour,
2.5 ltrs of Fast Hardner for the topcoat
2x 0.5ltrs of 2 different colours for graphics
3 ltrs of Primer/Surfacer
1 Ltr of Hardener for Primer/Surfacer
2 Ltrs of Etch/Wash Primer
2 Ltrs of Activator for Etch/Wash Primer
5 Ltrs of Best thinner
2 Lts of Gun Wash
2 Rolls of 2 inch masking tape
2 Rols of 1 inch masking tape
1 roll of 3M fine line masking tape for masking graphics
1 Tube of PU based Seam Sealer
1 Ltr of Stone Chip Underseal

Allow for...
Body filler
At least 20 Gringing Disc's
20 Sanding belts
100 40grt DA sanding disc's
50 80grt DA Disc's
50 Dry sanding Disc's (320s typically)
10 Sheets of Wet/Dry
MIG welding Gas and Wire
Miscellaneous Shot blasting
0.5 Ltr Polishing Compound
Various Polishes and Waxes
2 Polishing Mop heads
Masking paper
Plastic sheeting
Polishing cloth

And there are plenty more incidentals that should be factored in, but the customer wouldn't get directly charged for...

Lighting
Heating
Insurance

And then the dreaded Labour has to factored in...

Lets say 2 men, 3 weeks work, and they both want paying £500 a week each, which is fair, as its very hard graft!

And not even mentioned VAT

Eye opener isn't it!

[vw_golf_nutter]
