A mate of mine was going to get this done to his Smart car (don't ask) they quoted him 2 grand so decided not to get it done.

No idea, but it looks quite easy to be honest!

I have just been respraying one of my employees cars for him as a freebie.
It has been the most enjoyable paintjob i have ever done, he is a bit skint and can not afford to pay anybody to put the paint on for him, so i said i would help him out, and if he does all the prep, i will throw the paint on the car for him.

So you get all the fun of spraying the paint, with none of the boring prep/masking work.

His paintjob looks utter ****e in my eyes, but he is over the moon with it

All his "dent repairs" are still showing, his masking was horrible, and he forgot to degrease most of the panels.

But apart from that, it looks pretty good lmfao

Is this the video where the guy takes a chrome bumper paints it white and then sprays a paint cleaner over it before high pressure cleaning it all off cleanly? A bit like what they did in The Jackel.

Was going to get the seat backs in my Golf done or in black chrome. But I chickened out and did them in gloss black again.

May get my wheels done in a dark grey mirror finish of some sort as they've been curbed, but with the cost I maybe better off getting some new wheels, which is more tempting, as cleaning the current 20 spoke alloys is a bit of a chore.

There are loads of minor imperfections on large flat areas, I wouldn't bother.

Remarkable to watch, but looks like a waste of money to me.
