How much would it be to have my car blown over?
I had it previously resprayed but they done it the wrong colour(standard metallic black) where I wanted 181/7 and the bodyshop that done it went bankrupt since so can't go back there. So all the panels are straight so literally need a blow over

well how much did they charge you before ? would all depend on your local places and the quality, prices would vary around the country, and cash job price would be cheaper

best thing is to drive it round to a few local places and ask them for a quote, and talk and aska few questions as they look over it, if you can check out some cars/completed/in progress jobs there, and see who gives you the best confidence and price

If its the wrong colour it will need a full re-spray, a cheap one with you doing a lot of the prep should be around £1000-£1500.

Its metallic paint so it needs the lacquer removing even if you just wanted a thin coat of the correct colour applied, therefore not much more expensive to just have a whole new re-spray done.
