   Depends on the size of the car and what sort of work is involved i.e. preping etc

   fair few hundred quid.
   
   Usually around 500 - 1500
   
   depending on work required.
   
   Go to a local body shop and enquire.

   ^^ agree there. 90% of spraying is the prep work.

    Some bodyshops aren't keen on you prepping the car yourself though- best to ask first.
    
    A decent full spray your looking at £1K+

    Friend of a Friend is probs why, but either ay he does them cheap.
    
    Only thing is he tapes stuff liek your bump strips up, but i think im going to be gettin them painted aswell so alls good.
    
    That price is JUST an estimate, but my mate (the friend of the friend lol) got his BMW 3 series cabby sprayed for 350.....
    
    That also includes all the door shuts and boot shut etc.
    
    Best to have a good shop around and ask to see some of there work before you go anywhere!
