i did most of the bodywork, all they really did was prep the surface and spray it.

yes and no, its a good paint job, but i've had hours of looking at it close up, and know where the flaws are. also rust is bubbling though in places, partly my fault as i didn't replace the metal. i guess to me it looks like a £700-£800 paint job. its hard these days finding a decent bodyshop, which is why i might give it a go myself with the proper equipment next time.

If you have got somewhere to spray the car Stu, you might as well give it a go .My mk2 isn't fantastic but is 100% better than what is was and only cost me about £100 for the paint
