Give it a go yourself. You will only need the basic spraying equipment and a good sunny day.

As someone else posted it's most likely they weren't f**k doing it, my mate went to the place where I got the quote from and he got the front half his car and all the roof resprayed for $2000

unless you can paint well and you do it yourself it'll come out flawed and flat. and look terrible.

shop around

i got my genuine el kit re sprayed fitted and front bar repaired and resprayed down here in vic for $1000.
But the first place i went to wanted $2500 just to respray and fit the kit, he was talking alot of s**t about how hard it was and it would take weeks etc.
so yea best bet is to shop around

Mines not genuine so he was saying it will be harder to fit cos most copies don't fit on with out cutting and modding etc I was thinking I'll fit it myself then get it sprayed. Should lower the cost a fair bit
