Default Cost to spray a hard top

Hi all,

I have a silver hard top that I picked up a few weeks back that I need painted nurb blue to match my car.
Before I go to the bodyshop with it, can anyone tell me how much I should be paying for a colour change so I know I'm not getting quoted over the odds?


Cheers

Anything from £250 - £650 depending on where you take it.

You pay for what you get.

I could do it for £100, but I can't guarantee an even or streak/insect-free finish. I can guarantee a perfect colour ma....similarity though!

Cheaper to sell yours and buy a nurby colour one, surely. It's not like you're trying to paint it a rare colour... I've seen plenty of nurby coloured ones for sale, they tend to be the cheapest too for some reason...

Yeah maybe but the one I picked up was local(ish) and well priced.
How much are there nurby ones going for?
And I would need to factor in time and fuel driving from central Scotland too and have to sell the one I have and, and... that's all I've got.
