sprayer costs??
« on: 24 February 2014, 10:55 »
Some mug has pushed my rear bumper in and out at some point and all the paint is cracked and slowly flaking off!! :angry:

The bumper is in perfect condition just the paint work has taken a battering!

Any one got any ideas on sprayer costs as I haven't got a clue what to expect? I've got a quote from one bloke who wanted £350!! :huh:

Is this right? I feel I could get a new bumper already sprayed from the stealers for that!

That's more like what I had in mind!

Knew he was taking the piss :angry:

I'll have a little look around see what people are quoting now I have something to gauge it to.

Cheers Bax :wink:

£100-150 is a fair price for a bumper

+1 on that, I was quoted 250 for front and rear and side skirt with full smoothing, he's preparing to bend you over buddy

He must of hit hard times or something because I have used him before when a cyclist dug their handle bars into the side of my car and he popped it out, filled it and sprayed the rear driver panel for 120quid.
