I would say that £100 is extremely cheap and would normally only buy a single colour respray. Realistically if there are panels etc I would expect the bill to be a minimum of £150 and at the top refinishers in the country you'd probably pay more like £250... Colortech in Dartford can do very good work and are not too expensive.
