I think that a professional paint job is 2K or therabouts. My reasoning behind DIY was:
1. It's cheaper (HVLP kit circa £400 plus paint - say another £200)
2. As most people take the body off to paint it saves on transport (Most the bits will fit in the average hatchback - but not the rear tub) And I don't suppose the average paint shop will want you to do the dissasemble and assemble on their premises.
3. With cellulose if you cock it up then it's relatively easy to cut it back and do it again.
4. It's another skill. I like to learn new things
5. It delays me having to re-fit our shower room lol...
I still haven't made up my mind fully yet and I am open to persuasion either way....
