respray advice

[goon1001]

Im looking at getting the bonnet, inspection bonnet and cheese grater plus front wings resprayed. The guy I know at the body shop has quote around £1000 for the job. It seems a good price and I know the work he does is very good. Just he wants to know if its possible to remove the outer wings to respray them. Does anyone know how to do this?

ok, was not sure how they do wings, guess they just mask off lights too then?

I'm currently having my whole car resprayed at automedon in blackpool, its rosso pearl and has badly faded, it's gonna cost around 2k with a wheel referb thrown in aswell.

thnaks for the advice so far, also how easy are the door mirrors to remove to be sprayed?

[southgate]

Door mirrors are v easy to remove and paint, dont even need to take door card off - which is good!

As for lights, masking along the line of the light apertures would be tricky and not ideal. If it were mine i would be removing them as carefully as poss!

The wings, i would think, would be painted up to the sharp line before they cut back in for the door, then faded out into the sills.

Again cheers. So how do the mirrors get removed? I tskr it you pop out the mirror glass and then you can remove housing some how like that?
