Paint - £20+ Per litre. Dont get it from a paint supply place tho as they are a rip off - better going to parco or similar.

Where's S&T?
Do they do crash repair too? I need the front wing on my Lexus replacing and a couple of other bits.

Yes they do everything, there so good and as there never all that busy they take there time.
Richmonds Saxo is excellent, they have done two 106's as well which are superb.
Next month my car is being re-sprayed, my mate Karen's 106 GTi is being re-sprayed, my mate is having his bodykit fitted to his Astra SXi and looks like Jambo is having his car re-sprayed.

Go for a decent type of paint, go for ICI, Du Pont, Lesonal, something like that. You'll get a great result. Polishing plasy a major part in the paint job too tho, so maybe find out about that.
To spray a car the same colour, go for 2litres, if its a colour change go for 2/3 litres for extra coverage.
