Is this cheap to spray my mk2 golf ?

i am toying with the idea of a new paint job same as(tornado red)the car is fairly good(no rust) but not perfect I was quoted 800-1000 depending on prepwork and that's a well known(good) painter in my town.my roof is perfect and he said he could do a sound job without having to do the roof.not sure that's a glass out job though and don't think I would want to tackle the glass.

 

Glass out or don't bother imo mate... unless it's just a ragger or a racer

Won't take a lot more time to pull and refit some Mk2 windows than it would to mask them off

 

Whats the finished result? Looks good so far

 

'Scuze my ignorance, but why does the glass need taking out? If you're masking over the hole where the windows were, why take out the glass? Is it more to remove the rubbers/seal so there's no edge to the rubber, rather than the glass itself?

 

I paid 2.5K to have my car done. The quote included removing & re-fit (after paint) the plastic trims the doors, boot, bonnet, glass, front panels and any decals. It was then taken back to the metal addressing any rust dents etc before spraying



I wanted the work once and correctly.

 

Because there will be a line where the tape is, if you take the windows out the line will be behind the rubber so you won't see it.

 

Seen enough dodgy resprays up to the rubber seal flaking so always take them out. as tbh its hardly effort for a better result.
