Can any one recommend a 'GOOD' sprayer in or around the Bristol area, have a couple of mates looking.
Have found a couple of places with decent finish , or £1200 for single colour or someone else that wants £1700.
I've not had any spraying done for a long time, think I'll have a go myself with my current project, so I'm not sure what the going rate is.
Thanks for any help

BANKSY?

I would suggest you have a go yourself with rattle cans. I have just virtually resprayed a classic car and am very pleased with the results. To begin with it was hit and miss but if you have paint made up at a paint specialist they can supply you with 4 different spray caps for you to decide which one you can get on with. I found if you do it on a warm day say above 20c and surprisingly hold can about 6 to 8", not as recommended, from the panel it is a point of getting the paint on at just the point of before "orange peel " effect. If you want a really good finish rub down with 1200 or higher rubbing down paper and soap and water. To do virtually the whole car cost around £150 @ £15 per can, plus primer etc.
