Yeah your probably right, I was thinking of tinting the windows so maybe we'll just do that...

I know a few people in the trade so I did the prep work and then had a professional finish off. Try and find a little body shop (not one filled with insurance work) and try your luck. For a top job though in white I would guess £800 - £1000 for the whole job, sadly you get what you pay for.....

Like I say though visit a few smaller places and see what they can do, especially if you do the rubbing down etc.

Well here it is finished anyway!! In the end I just had the windows tinted painted the wheels and had the car machine polished. She was really happy with it.
