depends on how much you want to pay. some places will charge more than others but the price will reflect the job. i work at smart collision in hornby and i know we are not cheap but we are known for having a really good paint job. just go around a few places and ask. make sure you know what colour you want, it may cut some labour time out.

My old flamate got his done at Allied Panel and Paint (or Allied Collision Repair or something....) either way it looked great. Was a nice even finish, not orangepeely or anything. I'd give them a shot for sure, iirc the price was midrange, I personally thought it very reasonable for the job they did.

Just had mine done at straighten up panel and paint and looks great - price was reasonable and matched most of the other quotes i got.

Final cut and polish looks awesome

Yip I have always gone to G Milne as they do a fairly decent job and they are fast, but he (Gordon Milne) is a bit of an arrogant prick and the price usually reflects whether or not he is having a good day :roll:

If you go in there ask for Craig, hes like the 2 IC. Would be worth getting a quote though. They might be nice to you cos Gordie used to race RX7s :wink:
