Sidhu88 1 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 how much did it cost u to respray the car? u do everything urself? remove paint, smooth, primer etc etc? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Looks good mate' date=' are you pleased with it?[/quote']No. It looks crap! I've got to spray it again, its turned out patchy. I think i was rushing, and without sufficient paint, and trying to do it with my left hand, not happy really. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 how much did it cost u to respray the car? u do everything urself? remove paint' date=' smooth, primer etc etc?[/quote']Well its probably cost £200 - £300 in materials, but alot of hours work have gone into it.I did do it myself, with help from others along the way!The old paint is still on the car, i just 'cut' into the original paint and started on top of that. Some parts had to have more work then others. Link to post Share on other sites
