deagledaddy Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 You could do it yourself by hand, provided you have the right equipment. Compressor and all that. Do you need to do the body, or can you just do the new kit?I recons you would be looking at best part of 1K to spray the car and kit (along with fitting). Assuming your only getting the outer panels sprated and a relly basic standard colour. Also if the body is rusty the costs will go up lots due to the extra prep work that would be needed.

nmt_oli Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 For body kit fitting, prep and a good spray your looking at £1500 i reckon. In my opinion, don't bother with the body kit- it will put your insurance up massively, look chav, and scrape on speed bumps. Spend the £1500 on somthing more worth while!
