Anywhere around £1500 or more. Loads of work to be done when re-spraying a car a different colour, especially with that sort of paint, as you need a primer, ground coat, flip coat and laquer. The materials are expensive too. Your realistically looking at about £100 or more per litre for the flip paint, depending on where you go. Talk to Midas as they seem to get good prices on Rage paints...

Yea, get the paint from the bodyshop and go to a specialist. A they know what they are doing and B they can get the paint at a lower price as they have trade accounts....

yea a flip is realisticaly 3x more work than a standard product. you do get what you pay for when you buy the paint, so choose carefully
