Quote for body colour trim....?

[Jones]

Hi people,


I already have the aero side skirts on my car and was wondering about quotes for the painting of the arches etc (rest of the black plastic trim).


Can anyone help me out here?



Thanks MINI2'ers

Coolnew supplied mine, drop them an email for prices. It will take two of you about 2 - 3 hours to fit them, depending on how brave you are

i think u should just do it locally
just get bmw to get the color code for ya and get the spray paint shop do it for u with the hardener for the plastic for ya should be good

and i think if u do it locally it'll cost less than bmw

The paint codes are on the VIN plate under the bonnet, any decent body shop should be able to do it, the trick is to get the surfaces much smoother than they are, then apply a plastic primer before the top coat. Best way is to buy new wheelarch spats, and get them done off the car, then swap then over when you are happy with the result. The replacement arch spats are pretty cheap, and a good sprayshop will do them for around £100 with fitting extra.Car accessory shops do stock all the materials you need, so you could DIY, but you need a clean dry warm dustfree environment to get good results.
