Respray quote (I lol'd, hard)

[ForceIndia]

Had my mot done today, walked it, just needed a rear
bulb doing. Thought I might get a quote for the paintwork I need doing (see below).

£1600. Roughly double every otherv quote I've had. Jokers, lost my custom for good.

 

[seb]

what was the quote then? why did you lol hard? i want to lol hard too tbh.

i feel mislead

 

[-Leigh-]

My bro will do it for you for £500. I'll tell him too.

How ridiculous is £1600? I couldn't keep the smile of my face.

 

[Revels]

Maybe they were going to spray it all and make it a good colour?

 

[Leeshez]

Was that for the whole car in flip paint?

 

[Dash]

£16,000 would be a tad expensive, but £1,600 seems quite reasonable to me.

I'd want a complete respray and re-furbed wheels.

 

[Fred@BTM]

who quoted you that???

 

[leeds_182]

You pay for what you get.

who quoted you that???

Horizon in cradley heath, lotus/tvr specialists. £90+vat to fit braided lines (with me supplying the lines).

 

[john.med]

^ More you pay, more you get ripped off!

 

[Fred@BTM]

f**king hell!!!! my car is being fully resprayed for £700

 

[Timmay]

i was quoted 300 quid on that warren!

 

[ForceIndia]

Don't worry, won't be going there for the work. They did pass me through the MOT though.

Who's doing yours?

 

[jonnyboy]

They are probably just too busy. If I cant be arsed with a job on the side I just quote a ridiculous price then if they accept its a motivation to do it.

 

[ForceIndia]

They're dead mate, was chatting to the owner, hardly any work on at the moment. Been a few times, never seen the workshop so quiet, and no cars outside (normally both full).

 

[Reyes]

700pounds for full respray this end

 

[Al_G]

£700 for a full respray will be utter cack (unless its mates rates)...

A reputable garage will charge at least 2k+ for a proper job...

It utterly is..

 

[Al_G]

I got quoted £1050 for front end respray, a-pillar respray and a rear arch dent fill and spray - everything will be blended...

I'm expecting the work to be A1 and was told it would be...

 

[Reyes]

imo anything around 1 - 3k is a good job

Who's doing yours?

my mate "the barron" (he paints all the cars in the workshop up at yozzas)

 

[Martin_172]

you get what you pay for but £1600 a bit expensive!

i payed over £500 for rear quarter, drivers door, bump strip smoothed down and painted (got 1 from the scrappies off a dynamique because mine got hit by a brick and the car got keyed)

[Fred@BTM]

mates rates mike = whenever they get chance

PMSL! i Paid 1k to do 3/4 of the Vee!

 

[-Leigh-]

I'm lucky, my bro owing his own bodyshop, I just pay for materials and get him a few drinks. Had side skirts on my old punto sprayed for £20.

Very good work too, he's too busy as he keeps getting recommended by everyone.

 

[Al_G]

PMSL! i Paid 1k to do 3/4 of the Vee!

was it a good job mate?

were any of the panels blended, if so can you see that the car has been resprayed (in certain light etc)?

 

[Englebert]

Depending on what is involved i wouldn't say £1600 is necessarily over priced. I imagine they would be respraying a fair bit of the car to feather it in properly. Depends how much you care about the job.

 

[alex-avfc]

guy that resprayed my rear quarter had just done a great full re-spray on a mk1 golf, £700

 

[Reyes]

Ohhh so thats you....

 

[ForceIndia]

Company went under in the end.

 

[PH-QUICK]

thats f**king crazy!at my old bodyshop that sort of money will get you a full respray with a glass finish !no wonder you lol'd hard!

 

[16v_paddy]

what a piss take

I got mine fully resprayed with new rear qtr's and a new sill welded in for that price, and it's a top notch job

 

[Christopher]

Leave it!

Slagathor does not want for paint.

usually the case but i suspect they didnt like his face

sure u'll find a good price but if not u know where i am x

 

[Fletcher]

I thought you were going for a vinyl wrap Warren?

 

[JCC]

The other places who quoted you may be cheaper but may not be very good.

We had a civic in not so long ago that had been fully re-sprayed elsewhere for £700, and there was not one reflection/ area of shine to be seen in the paintwork whatsoever. Was like someone had been at it with rattle tins.

You really do get what you pay for in some places.
