Double that an add a little more for all the prep work thats needed for a full respray
Personally i'd say:
Rear bumper to be prepped and painted: £150-220
Door handles: £40-90
Full respray including door shuts and engine bay: £2-4.5k
All imo, Just off what ive heard before, Actual quotes i and my mates have got before..
Everything can be done cheaper but can effect quality... Might be someone you know in the trade etc... Or you can pay a fortune and have a good job done... Then again get ripped off and have a s**t job done..
Make sure you get a good reputation body shop.
when people say all these quotes of 2k +. y, what sort of prep work is needed, not every car has crazy panel damage on every bit of the car. most cars will have a few stonechips which is not time consuming to a professional. so that just leaves rubbing down, masking up and spraying.
and when people say a 1k respray is gonna be s**t, ur talkin balls. if its done by paddy at corner garage in 1 hour then yes, but a lot of bodyshops are cheap and knock out good work. how else could they compete with dealers, insurance repairers. i had my ; 2 doors, rear quarter, rear bumper and skirt done because of dings for £150. yes it was a foreigner but it shows that it doesnt cost as much as people think. te guy still had a very tidy profit out of that.

its bob on mate, no need for pics. a year on and still bob on. y people cant believe that good jobs can be done for cheap is unreal.
its like going to renault for a cambelt change, you wouldnt do it. y. because its cheaper somewhere else for the same job, like i said, aslong as it isnt some backstreet garage then the work is generally fine.
yes but like you said. £400 for materials, so therefore whats left if you took that to a bodyshop is just labour. £600 wort of labour is a heck of a lot of someones time. a £1000 respray is cheap. im not saying it isnt, im just saying, it doesnt mean its gonna be shyt.
