I've got next week off work, and Im taking the opportunity to get my front bumper, new chin spoiler and HID washer jet covers all sprayed up/colour coded.

I'm looking to us a local firm called Little Knocks, who come highly recommended. I'm planning on giving them the bumper off the car so I can do some work to the car.

I went to see them this afternoon to get a quote from them, and they have quoted me

 

Doesn't sound too bad to me as long as it's a proper job

They are meant to be very good from first hand reports from this forum. The guy I spoke with seemed very knowledgable, and I didn't get the impression he was 'ing me at any point, which made a nice change tbh.

I don't know a great deal about spraying and the related costs, but I thought it was a bit steep.

Anything I could do to lower the cost?

 

You could remove all the bits from the car you need spraying and refit them your self to save on labour, thats about it really.

It would be a reasonable price if they were also removing and refitting the bumper, but as you're doing that its not cheap.

however, you often get what you pay for with resprays. A cheap price just means they cut corners.

Make sure they are going to plastic weld the holes in the bumper rather than just using filler. Filler woudl just crack as soon as the bumper gets the slightest knock.

 

Cheers guys.

I just assumed they'd fill the holes, so I'll ask them about the plastic welding before I commit to anything.
