Please excuse my ignorance on paint.. have never had a car resprayed so I know nothing!
I wish to re-paint my Red GTD in a silver or gun metal. Ideally I'd like to get the work done locally (South West UK).
When asking for quotes I need to know the 'right' questions to ask & some idea of the type of preparation/paint to use. Should the current paint be stripped completely or just flatted? In a few minor areas the paint has bubbled & on further investigation these bubbles contain water?!? obviously I want to avoid this!
Are there any specific techniques or equipment necessary for fiberglass?
I figure the front & rear clams, doors, cills, nostrils etc would be painted off the car, would the centre section be best left in place? & Could I leave the windscreen in place with it?
As it stands the car has good panel fit & gaps.
My final query is cost. I know thi is a very difficult question to answer, but could other owners give me an idea on the cost of their own paintwork?
