I can't decide if I want to put my smooth front end on or not so gonna see what people think they are worth and decide from there.
The bonnet is welded and filled properly and the grill is cut and fibre glassed properly, what are they worth people?

Sorry that's the only pic of the bonnet I have but it's finished now

I always liked the smoothed front, I dunno I can't make my mind up!
How much it cost you for the bonnet to be sprayed?

I know dude, I just can't get a decent quote for paint!
Everyone I ask wants £150 for it and I don't know if its worth it!

is that top and underside. I was quoted about £120 for just the top. Might look into wrapping it matt black. It would be a very cheap and easy way to get smooth stuff on!

Yeah that's a 100% job!
Hmmm I'd be tempted with that but don't think a moonstone would suit a black bonnet!

I've just been reading the project thread for this! Lol
Still unsure, gonna see how bad it looks when I've blown a rattler into it!
Other than that it's a bonnet bra, but as it happens I'm not a homosexual so that rules that out! Lol

He rises .
Dude don't use bonnet bra it hold water and fucks your paint up.
Try blasting it with rattle cans if not get it done. You only need top doing to be fair as its moonstone anyway.

I may have found a temporary solution!!
We have a new "the range" shop in chesterfield and the mrs wanted to look round so we did, obviously I had a wonder round the car aisle and found HOLTS spray paint, 300ml for 3.99!
Thought f*ck it, may aswell give it a bash for £4!
The colour match is better than any I've tried
That's
Halfords
Halfords mix match
And hycoat!
Don't get me wrong it's not 100% but it was never going to be!
Laid 3 coats of paint on it and left it till tomorrow!
I'll pick up some matching lacquer in the morning and hopefully she'll be smooth by Tuesday!!
Whoop!
Anyone want a standard moonstone bonnet, grill and graphite badge?

I picked my smooth bonnet and grill up on eBay after weeks of searching. Cost me 70 quid to get it sprayed! Was well happy. So 130 quid for grill and bonnet perfect condition and sprayed

Bloody el, where?
The thing that pisses me off the most is that I'm more than capable and qualified to do it myself, I've done bodywork for like 6 years but I've got anywhere to do it!
Then you get some spotty little kid whos been doing it 6months saying they want £160 to spray a bonnet!

My girlfriends next door neighbour did the spraying as a favour. The prices people want for spraying are ridiculous
