    depends where you get it done, the prices will vary from shop to shop, to what colour etc

    £600 :this:

    Cost was mainly paint.

    But I'd say £120 is a bargain fire, paint would set you back quite a bit and labour for prep etc. I'd reckon on average you are looking at £300.

    Would they do it if i supplied paint and done the prep. Im guessing that would work out cheaper ?

    All depends on the company. They may be funny with what paint you have and may want to prep it themselves as it's 90% prep, 10% spraying and if it comes out bad they've only got themselves to blame.

    only problem is the average shop does cars and wont even know what a runner is, then they will probably act funny like they have never painted plastic before (what's a bumper made of :rolleyes: )

    and then they will probably give the most random quote as they need to see what they are painting to give a accurate estimate

    No chance in hell of getting a quote over the phone. Doesn't matter what size it is how are they going to know how much prep and how hard the prep will be in terms of panel shapes and finishes.

    Will need to load up a car and go driving. Only way. Even taking pictures is useless.

    well no there not the same size.. a runner has 3 times as much pannel area as a typh/zip...
    a good job WILL cost mre than a fll set of new evo's.. painting pannelsad getting a GOOD finnish costs money, theres no 2 ways about it (unless you do it yourself, but then its still ALOT of money in cans and alot of horsmessing about) a week i spent on 3 typh panels..
