I would think a decent price would be around £800 and definately not over a grand, especially if its a mk5. if you shop around you,ll find a good painter at the right price. Plenty of hashes out there at the wrong price :wink:

seriously m8 that roller paint job looks ok if you have arms like rambo to rub it flat :lol: you could save yourself a lot of dough and in turn that could pay somebody to weld on your arches etc, the really hard bits :idea:
