as a painter in a professional insurance approved bodyshop myself i wudnt waste time doing it for so cheap and as far as paint cost's most corsa's arent all clear coated as there 2pak so paint wud only cost bout £25 a ltr meaning 2 ltr's colour 'n' primer
lol for £350 i wud only suggest ud scotch the panels down instead of sanding them flat covering all bits of shit by coating them over in paint meaning shit job but to a person who can only see the gleaming fresh paint and not the hard edges left from poor masking and possibly aload of orange peel

If you owned a bodyshop and paint cost you £100, is that how much you'd charge for a re-paint?? Dont think so, £600 is a cheap price, even if it is only exterior, no door shuts etc, do you know whats involved to do a re-paint, takes alot of time.

Yeah ok

it takes about 3-4 days and yes ive done my own twice id prob charge £300-£350 not £600

Let me get this right...

You want 600 notes for a "full" respray, which does not include under the bonnet or carpets (so it isn't a full respray is it?)

and after I've had it done I can't clean it properly because it will take the rattle can paint off?
