Ooh, finally a question I can help with lol.
For any spray work, or body mods I highly recommend this guy:
His name is Daz, and his business is called Imageworx
Address is:
Imageworx
Unit 7
Crags Park Ind Est
Creswell
S80 4AJ
Tel no: 07762 486701
If you say you've been recommended by Damo off Briskoda who you did all the paint for his Black Octavia vRS, he will give you a good price.
I'm going to him in a few weeks for the 206 rear arches and spraying. He's quoted me £350 all in and that's by far the cheapest quote I've had.
His work is top notch.
Best of luck whoever you decide to go with
Cheers
Damo
Ps, have you thought about having it wrapped instead?

I will have a word with Daz when I take mine in, and tell him there might be a queue of Puma's heading his way
He's a really nice guy, and a car nut (although he is a VW fanatic)
He even opens up for me on a Sunday, just so I can drop the car in (he only lives up the road from his unit)
As I said he's done me a fair amount of work, and it's always been of the highest quality. I will take some pics when he's done mine and you can judge yourselves
In the meantime, this was his work on my Octy vRS (bonnet, colour coded grill, front bumper, roof, rear bumper and boot and colour coded sidestrips and bumper inserts) looked as good as new

250 per side is about the going rate to cut out and weld new metal in and spray, so 450 is fairly cheap but not massively lol

can you get your full car wrapped and choose any colour?
onevone said:
Yes, anything is possible with wrapping a car, right from straight forward colour changes to camo and picture wraps.
Bear in mind that a good wrap will cost around £1200-1500 depending where you go.
That makes it on par with spray painting.
Each method could be done in stages, eg roof and bonnet, then bumpers etc
Do a search for vinyl wraps in your area, see how much they're charging
Best of luck

a wrap sounds good but i think i would prefer a spray job for that money.

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a melina blue puma than get yours repsrayed???
That's a fair point Martin
I guess it depends how much you want to keep that car, or if you've already spent a lot on maintenance or modifications.
If you did want to keep that particular car, and its a straight forward colour swap, then I would have it sprayed
If you wanted something a bit different, eg camo or colour contrasts etc then a wrap would probably be cheaper
Like I said, you can break the cost down by having it done in stages, with both methods
Let us know how you go on anyway

it would be cheaper to buy a melina blue one but like damo says i have put a lot of money into this one plus blue ones are pre 2000 and big mileage.Mine is a 2000 model and only done 70k.
