    Default $300 for a spray!?!?!

    Picked up some VY Calais skirts yesterday and i've just called a panel repair joint near mine and they quoted me $300 to paint them the same colour as my car.

    Does that sound right?

    Im shocked.

    I'm going to agree with DM.

    I got a quote of $200 to colour code my supra spoiler.

    Well, I rocked up to the panel repairs and he noticed they were just for the rear. He thought they were the entire side skirts. Just incase you guys thought the same, this is just the rear Calais extensions.

    So $150 for the paint job in the end....happy
