what should i say when asking for a quote?

at the moment im saying "can i have a rough price for a front bumper sprayed in standard colour"

maybe i should try "fancy earning 50 quid mate?"

106 had a dent in the boot removed (was there when i got the car), Saxo had a small dent removed that some fucker done is a car park and the Picasso had a new rear door put on -- again some fucker in a car park.

I am going to look for quotes to..

seal skirts with tigerseal...
one side of front bumper is low get that sorted.
full respray in standard flame red...

:)

wonder what i'm looking at:o

I need to get rubbing strips, handles, arches and bumper inserts on missus crorsa soon cheaply somewhere!!

I got gsi kit fitting, smoothing, extending and airdamn building up and new plate recess all sprayed in 1 off colour for under £350

I got
bumper
reiger splitter
2 wings
bonnet all resprayed
few splits repaired etc for £250 and was a top job and that was on the vectra

you get what you pay for mate,
400 quid (colour coding)would prob be getting it done properly, all bits being taken off and done so that the paint goes round the edges so it wont peel off,
cheap jobs usually just mean bits get sprayed on car and preperation isnt as good as it should be.
just dont go for the cheapest mate,
where our garage is theres a boy 5 miles away that does jobs at half the price we do them, but 8 out of 10 of the people that say he's cheaper and go to him are usually back to us to get it done right.

yea mate, that what he would charge us lot! lol, u have u2u about respray, he been in the business 30 years, i aint saying hes the cheapest and never will but he does a damn good job, used to do posche respray when they got send back to main dealer after damage etc :)

How much would you say it would be to spray a front bumper (rieger gtc) at a body shop.

Just a rough idea.
