i know where you can get a TVR style multicolour 3 stage paint job (purple,grenn,orange metalic) for about Â£200 for a really good job.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................... there is a small catch though , you would have to do a car spraying course at hasting tech about Â£120 over 5 days over 5 weeks (rough guess) then buy some paint and rent a compressor and gun.

sorry did'nt mean to sound sarky, unless it's a really good friend a cheap respray is just that and would look like one.

in your neck off the woods i would hazard a guess off Â£800 upwards for a job of quailty.

cheers

Are there any multi colour 480's already?

Too many flip paints...all look really nice, but i agree with Vin, the original Alfa jobbie is the nicest...

Spray wise....just check the yellow pages in your local area. Would be plenty around that way i would ahve thought?
