i know resprays are alot , but the time is in the prep. surely applying the paint doesnt cost 6-700 quid !and as a solid white is the most forgiving colour when it comes to prep , im sure my 14 years experience is capable of doin a good job ? a tad better than diy ! damn 600 quid aint bad for a days work !!!!

Edit-and booths don't come free and run themselves either!

Unless you go to bare metal for a colour change/full respray this is the best route imho. preparing a car is a lot different to home decorating, the level of finish is far, far higher.
The was a thread about vinyl wrapping earlier this year, try a search for a recommendation but in the mean time this came up: https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...-your-car.html
