Looks good but cant believe they've left the arches on to paint it, almost guarantee theres rust lurking behind there...

if you look at the pics closely, it doesnt look as if they were painted on the car as you can see the gaps all around them, although they seem to have been left on for priming. weirdly.
i hope they aint been pained on the car.

As I have said before, I'm not sure as I didn't do and havent asked but I very much doubt he would've done that. He isn't some gypo who hasn't got a clue nor is this a cheap job on a budget. He owns a reputable firm and is the only bloke I know who has an honest passion for working with my cars. Therfore I'm sure he would've removed them prior to paint or prime.

I would hope so... If he has taken them off hes taken them off and refitted them a good few times. I'd defo be asking him if they were on the car. wouldnt be a problem but the bolt holes attract rut like the plague.. lol..
Either way, looks like a cracking finish!

Looks great
but..........
Wht are the arches/door handles/bumpers still on it ? the paint under them wont be the same, which would annoy me, and there may be more rust lurking

every panel should have been off the car except the doors for a perfect job, problem being the lacquer wont go round the back of the panels and will start to peel back, apart from that it looks pretty good, Remember its all in the preparation.

For everyone stressing about the bumpers, all the bodykit was removed prior to spraying. I wanted the bobbly effect removed so he had to take them off so they were properly flatted and prepped. The windows and other panels were left on. There you go, you can all get a good nights sleep now

Cheers mate
Err it varies from place to place really. This is costing me just over 1k. I'm having a lot of work done and it's been in for 3 weeks and everytime I've been round, they've been working on it. My mate said to anyone else, he'd charge around £1600 for the work but I'm a valid customer
