How hard is it to match the paint? Peugeot can supply the paint but i'm assuming it depends on how thick you spray the paint on etc.
I've two doors that need painting and a cracking big dent in the bonet after a brick bounced off a lorry. Worth investing in a compressor giving the cost of getting all three panels painted

it would be better for a bodyshop to do it as a spray gun £100+, compressor £100+, and it depends if you are using 2k or 1k paint and you may need thinners and mixing shit as well.

If i get the compressor and spray gun, how easy is it to do?
Have a mate that works in a body shop so can mix the paint. Not spoken to him about it yet though.
I was just going to do it in my shed

If you have a mate that works in a bodyshop why do you not get him to spray it?

He did a few jobs on my Corsa a couple of years back. He's got a new boss now that won't allow him to do his own car or mates cars.

If you do it yourself I guarantee it will look a dog's dinner.
Please please get it done by a pro in a proper spray booth.
If you do it in your shed you may as well use a brush as it will come out shit.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
