Its called pricing yourself out of the market - he doesn't want the job. Either that or he's anticipating something going wrong and is building spare cash in to cover it. Remove the strips and door handles yourself (door handles guide in FAQ) and replace with delock rears from the back door of a scrapped red Vectra. Easy and cheaper, and colour match will be better.

Just like when you ring some companys for an insurance quote and they give you a stupid price it's because they don't want to insure you and if you do pay the price then they don't make as they've made an absolute killing

try it yourself, what you got to lose?

even buy a spare set to practice on, i did my handles with cans and they not that different, its when u do large flat areas that you start to notice the difference in finishes

Is smoke grey metalic? Metalic is normally easier to match due to it no fading.
