Title: How much to spray a headlight cover?
Post by: allstaruk on November 08, 2005, 03:08:42 PM
Hi

Pretty much what is says in the subject I\'m about to go to the bodyshop I use and see how much they want to spray a headlight cover in, I have a feeling that they are a little overpriced but they are good.

Anyway what would I expect to pay for them to spray a headlight cover its already in primer.

Cheers

Alan

Time wise it sould only take them 15 minits to throw the pain & laquer over it, and if they are a painters then the pain will be in house, so I\'d of thought £25 - £30

Got both my headlight covers done for £40.

That\'s including prep and primer.

Bodyshops usually mix the paint themselves from the code on you car.  I don\'t see why they need to special order it?

Should still be a standard mazda paint code, be it an RX7 or 323 unless its a colour you have had specialy mixed to your specs, so if they told you that it sounds a bit sus! good excuse to bump up the price, as you can only order in 0.5 L quantitys!! but £40 aint life or death!!
