i have spoken to you before about this.
what people think "is ready for paint" and what infact is ready to paint is 2 differant things.
i would say £400-500

there's 2 ways it can be done. either u can tell the bodyshop to 'adjust' the bodywork u have done so it looks right then paint it
or
u can tell him just to put paint ontop of what u have done but if it looks wrong he won't take the blame for it.
a guy near me did the bodywork by himself to save pennies then he'd get it painted but the outcome wasn't good. looks good from far but crap when near.

I would like to think most bodyshops wouldn't put thier name to crap jobs like just spraying over what is already there. But I know I'm wrong.
Most places wont take a car in that hasn't been prepped by thier own people. Well, round my way at least. Just because the car will arrive, and they will have to re-prep most of it in most cases.

It also looks like you havn't checked for dents and your front wings look like they need a lot of work as they don't look flat because there are lots of blue spots and bare spots - providing those pictures in your garage ar up to date...

best thing to do is take it to a pro bodyshop and just get them to finsih the prep work and spray it to 100% finish. work out more expensive but u have still saved on drivin into them/ drive out etc and they still then have to take responsibility for the job etc etc etc
