   how longs a piece of string kind of question
   
   alot of factors change the price, also which bodyshop, wether its a big name or back street bodyshop
   
   things like wether you remove everything for them, if your having the whole sheel done or just outside and door shuts, wether you want any mods doing, any dents/rust need repairing, if its an engine out job or not
   
   all these factors change the price

    its a mini though, half the prep work, half the materials needed, and as you stated didn't do door shuts
    
    anyone who cares about their work will do door shuts

    thats why when it comes to people asking about bodywork that only pros answer them, because people get given wrong answers

    May be cheaper to get lessons in professional spraying and buy the paint yourself, even if it is not much cheaper it's still a skill you have learned and can charge for in the future
    
    Yorkie re-sprayed his car for ~£300 he was telling me a couple of weeks ago....

    can't learn over night, takes a long time to learn properly, also you need a dust free environment and all the equipment which can cost quite alot

    I see him too often... by too often I mean he makes me jealous with his car.
    
    He sprayed his in two days both 20+ hours though, and he says himself he's no pro..
