I would like to get the front wing of my 928 painted in Marine Blue Metallic 35V

The car had a repair to the wing 20 years ago and corrosion is now coming through from the aluminium

I need a cheap job, not a something that is going to cost more that the value of the car

I'm based in W London, any suggestions?

I've done a rattle can job on some trim that can be easily removed, no one I've asked can easily spot it

However the wing is too big for me to attempt

Many years ago I took a used door rubbing strip that was the wrong colour to a paint shop, they painted it for me and charged me a tenner

That is the sort of option I'm looking for

Cost is in the labour.

Labour is in the prep. If you can prep the car ready for painting you should get a reasonable price from a garage.

Avoid the specialist insurance repairers for the paint job though - will be eye watering expensive.
