My OVNI yellow LCR- Resprayed!

[UFO Yellow]

I've just been quoted £1700 for a same colour respray...

Shop around and get a few quotes, next most expensive one I got was £800. Most expensive was £3300

So the £620 was mates rates,was the materials included?

 

[Pyro]

The £620 was coz I'm a legend managed to purswade him to sort out my mates it was £620 all in mate

Just a thought tho. Tge price may increase slightly with the economy but if anyone does want it done I will enquire

Splitter now fitted, was right bugger to get the 2 clips in. Used the jack that came with thee car and it went in easily!

 

[jamandspoon81]

I did the same today with a jack,very handy.if that price is still available I will be interested in a couple of months 100%.

Pm me when you are get some pics up Allan

 

[jamandspoon81]

just a thought,how much for a colour change?

 

[Pyro]

Not sure tbh it's alot more work probes around £1500-£2000 at a guess

 

[UFO Yellow]

Splitter fitted, brakes fitted, booked wheels to be done in dark grey next week. Clutch is also booked in for next week too, which is a bit of a pain- that money would've gone on an exhaust.

Waxing the car at the mo, pics when finished

I'll post more when I can find a good location for a few snaps, but the paintwork is a million times better. Would've liked it a bit darker yellow maybe

It looks great mate. You sound as if you're happy with the quality of the finish, which is the most important thing. IMO it's no so much the quote that is the deciding factor but how good the quality of their work is. Ovni is a thin paint (I'm no expert...) but I suppose the difference between a lighter and darker finish is a couple of extra coats? Would you have gone as far as Faisal did with his yellow?

Either way, I'd be really happy with your results, especially hearing of other's woes recently. Look forward to the pics.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy, especially with the price. I would've gone maybe a bit darker like Faisal- there's a VW paint that's pretty good.





I also like the new skoda yellow- on the VRS, it's really BRIGHT yellow.

Fuk the orange wheels I'm having the car in that

 

[UFO Yellow]

One more pic, showing wheels. They turned out a bit darker than I thought but I like them




Was thinking of maybe getting the wing mirrors done in carbon fibre or black?


Next on list: NEW CLUTCH!
