Cost to paint sideskirts

mistryn · 07-03-2012, 01:11 PM

Could anyone tell me roughly how much should I be looking to pay someone to paint a pair of sideskirts saphire black for the coupe?

I will be ringing around couple places tommorow but if I have a rough ball park figure in mind so I dont get ripped off. i rang one place up earlier on and they said £420

The side skirts are in dark blue so will need prepping and painting

£420 sounds way over the top, £150 to £200 I would reckon.

Thanks Davy, I did think that was too much but was not certain, plus the skirts are off the car so they dont need removing and re fitting by the shop as I can do that myself

If they don't fit them, it shouldn't cost more the 150

I bought some for my 135i from BMW already painted and fitted them myself. I only took about an hour. It worked out cheaper than buying secondhand and getting them painted.

just rang another company who said £200 but they have a 3 week waiting list - looks like they dont really need the job
