Depends on Colour - anywhere between 750 and 1000 depending on who / where and what.

Ring Tony on 01322 441604 - He's painted literally thousands of Caterhams, as he is the factories outsourced painter.

Tell him Arnie sent you for a good price. You'll need get your car to Darford, although they can do the disassembly/reassembly if required.

Yes, fantastic job and the prices are competitive.

But you do have to suffer the ignominy of trying to reverse a trailer into a driveway the width of a trailer + 2 inches. Whilst blokes in the next door business laugh at you !

If it is stripped down, much easier to ask Tony for the Dolly (not bird) and put the chassis on that and wheel it into the shop. Leave the trailer on the road

Now you tell me

I think there was something in the way, so had to back up. Lift chassis over the blockage and onto the dolly.

Chap I know had his Caterham professionally painted in cellulose for £400 - it's a fine job as well. Sure, it was stripped and ready to etch prime when he delivered it, but it's still a good price.
Not sure if this price was plus paint or not. Paint and materials for my car (sprayed in 2pk) were c.£100.
