Full Respray - Where, and £££?

[fizzy_drink]

Scuffs and chips all over the place....

So, where can I get this done, and £££? How much ?

 

[Spammy]

I have no knowledge to back this up but my guess is around £1.5k for a decent one?

 

[Turkish]

yup be looking about £1.5k for a decent job.

 

[clioworx]

Depends on where you live but go to www.rpecustoms.co.uk and it's about £600 for a full respray and he is good, seen a lot of his work.

But if you mention cliosport he will give discount.

Good price that . I was quoted about £450 from a couple of places in Blackburn to spray my bumper after the next door neighbour scraped it and for a scratch on my door .

I'd be more concerned about the quality, ive seen plenty of "good jobs" that on closer inspection were a right mess. Good finish requires time spent on prep and the more you remove rather than mask the better. Cutting corners to lower cost only leaves a substandard job.

Why would you need a full re-spray with stone chips and scuffs? These can easily be done by any good body shop. Feather edge repair. If they need to re-spray the bonnet they will but I would only have a whole re-spray if I wanted to change the colour or someone had thrown brake fluid or thinners all over my car. If it's a decent body shop it should not take them long to prep/prime and re-spray areas where there are stone chips and scuffs. It would cost hundreds more and a lot more labour involved to re-spray the entire car.

True . You get what ya pay for " usually " . I had some work done on the insurance at a place recommended by my insurance company Royal Sun Alliance , had it back 6 times for bad prep , bad paint , their words not mine .
So the so called best isn't always best . Word of mouth is sometimes a good thing , especially if you can check the standard of their previous work .

I finally got my bumper and door resprayed at a back street garage thats been there for years . Dropped it off at 8.30 in the morning and it was ready by 4.00 in the afteroon , £120 . Top job as well

i wanted to respray my inferno cup white, after talking to someone in the know, he said it would cost me around 2.5k for a decent job.

You may also want to consider the Good/Bad bodyshop list at the top. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/announcement.php?f=20&a=15

Why spray your inferno white . Pretty rare colour i hear , never seen one in real life myself , seen a few pics of infernos and they look stunnin' , imo inferno and black gold are the best colours .

because if it was white, it would be UNIQUE, as they didnt make them in white

Exactly!

It's the preperation that determines the outcome!

Prices will vary,
as will the quality!!

You would get a decent job from a smaller bodyshop, coachworks.

But places that specialise in paint work will 'generally' give you the best outcome,
but you pay for it!!!


I do all my spray work myself though, so couldn't advise much more really!

 

[fizzy_drink]

Thanks for the advice chappos...

I'll think about it.

 

[clio-lane]

There was a discount token in Max Power or Fast Car recently (within last two issues) for a bodyshop that had done some work on one of the mag's cars. A full respray was around £650 I think.

Thanks for stating the obvious . Just think inferno is a top colour and it would be a shame to change it to a colour as boring as white , UNIQUE or not !!

MrBillyUK !

 

[theduck]

lol, sorry. a lot of people like white cars though.

 

[Ali]

about 2k for a complete colour change. Interior and exterior

^^PM'd been building up the courage

 

[Spykee]

i paid £850 for my G60 to be resprayed about 5 months ago but it was at a mate's garage so he did it for a great price!

you will probably be looking at £1500 for a reasonable job and thats just the surface.

if you want a full colour change which is a bare metal shell respray your looking at at least £2000 i would say as a minimum!

Agree

My last car looked bloody clean and tidy for an 11yr old car but on close inspection around the pillars/trim you could see plenty of laquer coming off where moisture had got underneath....the trim just hadn't been removed.

Definately better off paying a bt more for a good job and not have to have it redone in the future.

theres a body shop near my work in leeds, he's s**t hot but boy is he expensive, my m8 was quoted 2 grand for a same colour respray on a 205 gti !
