find your local bodyshop as this is a job that can be done yourself but it isnt easy and if you havent had much experience with paint before you are better off letting the proffesionals do it for you.

Any idea how much it\'ll cost because I\'m thinking the same thing!

Agree, go to the bodyshop, let the pro\'s do it!

Price will depend on the place & how much you want doing. I once paid Â£300 for a boot & bonnet painting, and i\'ve paid Â£1100 for a whole car sprayed including all bumpers, arches &door handles, so if i went there for just what you want I would expect them to charge me around the Â£300 mark.
Thats in a standard corsa colour though, if its a rare colour then the paint might be more expensive to come by?

as laura and si have said it really depends where you go but i would be expecting to pay around the Â£250-300 mark for that kind of work (bearing in mind i work in a bodyshop) the price is because its a metalic really as there is a bigger prep process and then its also basecoat and lacquer for the paint process therefore material costs rise dramatically from a flat colour.
