Full re-spray costs

[big hp]

Am looking to get a full re-spray (same colour, Monaco blue) Realistically I wont be getting the work done till jan/feb but can anybody tell me how much to budget for, and if possible recommend someone for the job. I am in Aylesbury bucks but am prepared to travel if the price is right, and a quality job is assured.

I need the rear arches tidying but other than that the paint is in good condition, just a few scratches and chips here and there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any less than £500-600 quid and theyyre bodging it. my mates just bought a pug gti that needs tidying and hes been quoted up to 2 grand for a same colour respray but £550 seems to be about the average price

think you will pay a liitle more than £600 for a full respray. i paid £1800 and that was the cheapest quote i got, (except for one dodgy geezer who said he could get it done for £400 - muppet) most places want over 2k. to be honest if most of the paintwork isnt that bad, you wont need a full respray.

lots of little bits on a few panels, a few people have all said the same thing, that it would be cheaper to get a full re-spray.

Possibly not though.

bout 2k including paint is about right

ive seen a mini resprayed that was done for £250 and everyone comments how mint it is

I agree wit cs-matt.Dont be fooled into thinking theres anything like a cheap re-spray

Youll get the work done and to start with youll be happy but by the time your car comes round to sell i can bet it will be sh*t again.

best doing a job once like this i reckon.

If moneys no object you could ring moorland classic cars in stoke 266459.

Dawsons in Dorset are tops, dear but then you get what you pay for!

well i can get club members a full respray for about £1200 and the work is top quality ask rockport he will agree

as far as 500 for a respray ! what do they use crayolas

 

[ChavyBoy]

£500 for a full respray, this cant be a very good job as I was quoted £1200 for the following

1. Remove all plastic bump strips.

2. Remove Sun roof

3. De-rust and cure any bubbled paint work

4. Rub down

5. Pull any small dents out

6. Respray and lacquer



Even £600 is to cheap and I would want to see examples of the before and after product.
