Respray rear quaters and roof

[S_E_A_N]

Hi guys, first post, i am currently breaking a clio sport to tart up my DCi daily, im swapping the majority of it over making it a 182 rep essentially . As the body kit and panels are in good condition i am looking at just getting the rear qauters and roof sprayed to match the kit. The the dci is currently blue and the sport silver. Anyone know a rough idea on a decent price for this?

I am waiting back from a quote from a body shop and i will ring around at weekend once im not at work, but i just thought id see if anyone on here has any thoughts aswell.

Thanks for any replys.

£300 at a guess.

Get the kit sprayed, there is no point in having your door shuts,doors, roof and 1/4 done, much much cheaper (and less risky, roof & 1/4's arent exactly easy to do) to have the kit refinished...............your talking 1500+ IMO for a good job on the roof , door shuts, doors, both 1/4's etc.

Agreed with spray shack plus you dont have to declare the colour change on your insurance mate or log book!!

Cheers for the reply lads, Theres no way i want to go crazy on a respray though its a cluo dci at the end of the day. Prices so far,been qouted £550 to do this including the door shuts today.

I'm sorry but unless that's a mate doing it in his spare time at his place of work, then it's going to be a crap job.

I'm still struggling to understand the logic behind changing the colour of a car to suit the bodykit you're fitting. Mental logic. (Or lack of)

I know it sounds mad, but the reason is i am braking the full car and the sport panels are better than the dci's anyway so may aswell swap bonnet,doors and boot too.
The paint shop guy is a mates brother so he is helping me out and i think £500 is a fair price, im aware you get what you pay for. I was just seeing what peoples thoughts were on a fair price.

normally for £500 all that sprayed , it would look like Stevie wonder has flatted it with a house brick and sprayed it with a bike pump !

A Good job IMO is circa £1500+
