That's what I'm thinking of doing. I've done plenty of little spray jobs myself with rattle cans and bare-metalled my old Beetle etc. Want somewere where I can prep it etc, then just get the guy to do any neceassary welding and check over what I've done and sort any bits that aren't perfect.

tbh honest i am doin everythin myself strip repairs prime and prep includin the weldin but i am a fully trained panel beater and have been doin the job for 4 years and i have always worked in the same place its merc toyota mazda suzuki and chystler approved and we do alot of resprays and wen people who do the prep themselves bring it in it can be quite shockin wot they think is ok     by all means it is nice wen a car comes stripped but not wen the owner has dun the repairs themself

my mate sprays cars and he said if i want the whole car sanded down and chips removed it would be £1000 in the same colour which is black. if i wanted to change the colour he said im looking at £2000. the cost is in the masking and the patch ups. he said if i can rub it all down myself and take all the windows/lights out he would do it for less. and i call him a mate! lol
