Morris Minor Owners Club

ive heared a few different things about the paint being available...ive been told they are stopping all the paint and going to water based which is mixed with normal tape water and dried by air dyers...also that cell paint is being stopped but also that is only available to old classic cars

with the cost of a respray ...if the price is cheap then its a cheap job you get and if high price its a better job...but ive seen on other forums that thats not always the case!!

you have to know whats envolved in that price ...
do they prep or do they just spray the car and then you have materials and their time etc

if you did it your self the cost will be cheaper than than if you got it pro to do it ...the key is having it hot enough for the paint to be baked on,and being able to spray it with out hick up's,and having all the tools to do it your self..........

you are looking at least £200 - £300 for paint/different thinner's/primmer/rubbing compounds etc

the most amount of time is spent in prep work...the spraying part is the easy part

would it not be worth going to a college near you and enquiring about how much it would cost, you have already cut out labour costs in doing this, ok novices are doing it but there is always a pro to rectify any problems that may occur, and they dont charge you extra for fixing a students hic up! might be worth looking into, my college charged me £20 for respraying my boot after some scallywag keyed it. ok its on a ford fiesta, but it kinda gives you a basic idea on a price.

Blimey, its CAM! the place didn't seem the same without you.

That post was from 2005 Willie

So I see Kevin, I don't usually bother to read the dates but why did it turn up in this discussion?

sorry i think that was my fault, studying it at college, just looked it up on a search SORRY!!!
