Interior respray cost

[kevo66]

I know some of you guys are as mad as me and insist on stripping your car so Im hoping someone has had this done!!

Basically, I would deliver the car to the bodyshop with everything out bar the seats and cage and want it spraying inside. I dont want to piss about preppeing any more than that... so any ideas cost wise guys?

Aye but im s**t at prep etc and most bodyshops have a courtesy car to use!

bit off topic but I was quoted £1,500 to fully strip, prep, weld a 6 point cage to any racing spec, then complete internal spray... does that sound about right?

Do it yourself!

Ive just stripped mine, and soon I will start prepping it for a full respray inside.

Depends on what the cage is really.

I'm sending mine away to get the inside done.

I'll have a bash at most things but that is far too much like effort. Loads of masking/prepping.... God, i'm getting bored of it already! lol.

two local body shops I tried did not want to do the job LOL... Too much messing around for them!

So I decided to go DIY stylie... It really was not difficult

Prep time 4 hours

First coat of paint 1 hour

Second coat of paint another hour

Then left the car over night to dry

I used synthetic paint, this requires no primer and will pretty much paint onto any surface with no minimal prep work (A quick wipe down with white spirit)

I really want to do mine but know that as soon as somethings put in it it will get scratched

 

[Gray]

Mine has stood up pretty well to scratches... Various trips to the tip, weekends away, wheels and tyres in the back etc.

Near enough no scratches at all tbh!

Be warned, a lot of bodyshops will probably give you ridiculous prices simply because they don't want to do the job.

if we prep it right scott will do it for you

Contacts y0!

The prep time takes the looooooongest... Paint time is nothing, just fiddly getting all the areas done with the first coat!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

For those people who have done it, any idea on a rough cost?

When I do mine, I will need primer, and then two coats of paint, but Im not sure how many cans I will need

Sweet, we will have to do it down there and leave overnight to dry etc then mate! Night out??

Gray, good job mate!!!
