Hi Zagmad
It depends how much work it needs?
If the gaps are correct and all the non-paintable bits are removed £1795. More if you want us to gap and fill and cut out for lights etc.
We have it for one week in pre prep where its sanded, filled and prepared to go to the paintshop. It then takes 3 weeks, where its painted in thick filler primer, then sanded back, painted again, sanded back, then black powder is applied which highlights any imperfections and sanded again. Then the colour coats and laqueur if its a metallic finish. Finally its polished to a mirror finish. We then suggest you leave it for 3 days for the paint to fully harden.
Modern bodyshops generally do not know how to paint fibreglass cars only metal. For instance you cannot bake the paint in an oven as it shrinks the GRP and filler and you get sinkage.
From our experience paint is the most important stage as it is the difference between a good car and a convincing show standard car.
