    Lol, i think you would be better off waiting and getting the right one, in the right colour.

    Must if musts are musts you would be looking upwards of 2k for a full spray done by a pro.

    Are you looking for a non standard colour? Like metallic pink or somesuch? If it's a standard colour that the e30 came in just bide your time and you'll find the right one. If it's a non standard colour than you're easily looking at 3-5k.

    I'm looking at 2k to just have an outer panel spray job in the original colour on my car

    Short answer - it's not worth it. It'll cost €3,000 to do it right and you'll have a car that's worth less than it was before. Either wait until you find the right car in the right colour or take the view that you can't see the car when you're in it.
