Best bet is to find someone who has the equipment to do it as a homer. If you know them 300 is reasonable if they are going to do a good job...

Tony Marlin Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 whats a homer?A tradesman doing their day job for as a favour, usually at a reduced cash rate.(Shhhh! Don't tell the taxman!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkJDelaney Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Don't even bother by yourself if you've never done it before. It's most definately a highly skilled job, not one you can often bodge. You need the equipment, time, preparation skills, location and surroundings and like I said... the skill.I can recommend one place in Lawrencekirk. I've heard very good things, and his prices are more than reasonable. I'll be going there in future to get a few things sorted on my car. Get in touch if you want more information on that.I hope you've prepared and primered the car correctly anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Doubt Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Go to the garage on south deeside road near ardoe house hotel, they do spraypainting an panel beating....if you want it done well you need to fork out the cash.

HeinzHines Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Remember that you will need to buy your paint and lacquer aswell...most cars need about 2-3 litres of paint...a solid colour is about 25-30 quid a tin i think...lacquer is about 15 a tin...but no idea how much you will need of that...Ive seen really good homers done for 300 at their places of work (if you buy your own paint and stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
