Someone to spray paint.

Morning all.
My OE wheel cover is still lurking around here at work and as valiant as my effort was, I really do need to pay and hand it over to someone who has the right tools to paint and lacquer it before Christmas (one less thing to worry about it.)
Looking to do cash in hand, and preferably someone in the club rather than a business. I can also bring it to the charity meet at Snett.
Cheers!

Awesome, cheers Billy.

I'll upload a couple pics tomorrow of the cover, there's no real work involved. Just another coat of silver and a proper lacquer.

Photos.

The top cover has a small divot which you can't see on the photo.

And the rear has some minor ones which aren't critical for skimming.
All in all;
The front divot just needs a small 5p size skim.
Both covers need to be painted in a mid silver. (Can't go by the Mitsubishi paint code as they've added a green tint to it for some reason.)
Both covers need lacquering.
And that's pretty much all I need, if your brother can rough quote that I'd be happy.

Do it yourself then
The existing paint needs wet flatting, then the imperfections need sorting, then wet flatting again, then more paint, checking for imperfections in the paint/from the gun etc etc, then it needs lacquering with multiple coats, wet flatting again, baking and then polishing up afterwards.
No real work

I am only highlighting what may be involved as some guys on here will believe the 'no real work involved' and then be surprised when someone says "I want
