sport 2000 Dan Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Well done, cracking job, looks very cool!!! would love to know the Citroen dealer that you used!!! Quote
JeffC Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Cost will depend on how much graft you put into it yourself.. Michael that owns this car stripped it ready for prep.. I did the labour on this job as a favour and cost to me for materials/ booth hire was around £200... prob the best £200 to go from before to what it is now.. Ive had a few people asked me to paint their westys but my prob is I dont really have anywhere to prep them... but this may change in the near future I was painting cars daily from 1988-1997 so going back to do it now I quite enjoy , but doing them every day I think would sicken me quickly .. QUOTE Well done, cracking job, looks very cool!!! would love to know the Citroen dealer that you used!!! Thats the guy that I served my time with (taught me all I know and I still know nowt ) he has his own independant bodyshop now , the overalls are likeley some he bought of ebay Quote
