   could probs find it cheaper but you pay for quality at the end of the day. i got quoted £700 for a re-spray in st orange (only got a quote out of curiosity) but you never know how good the jobs going to be until its too late.

   £2500 is a good price mate for that type of paint. the paint is a type of pearlecent and needs to be "layed" on so does take alot of time to do. when done right it looks mint but if rushed it looks sh*t

   love that colour!
   
   you could probably find it a bit cheaper but you need a decent job with that type of paint.
   
   make sure you have a look at their work before paying out that amount of money. you dont want to get stung!
   
   what did that quote include?
   
   enigne bay?

    2500 is a good price tbh and if they are doing all that for you aswell mate, youve got a good offer.
    
    id go with it tbh, instead of shopping around pay the price you'll appreciate it more after mate, because i can guess if you get it done cheaper and it turns out crap you'll of wished you had of payed more.
