Respray costs???

[bapesta]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get my car re-sprayed at some point but not too sure on prices. The body is in pretty good condition and only a few dents/scuffs. rust is minimal.

so heres the question....how much do you think a sand down, full prep and full re-sray set me back.

Was looking for a guesstimate as to how much it would cost and any places near to london where i can get this done.

Cheers

glass and all trims off, full strip down and re paint £2000

work with rust is extra depening on what needs to be done

[bapesta]

Thanks for that! i guess i better start saving then! and will definately need to get the colour spot on!

if you have the details for places that do resprays that would be greatly appreciated!

You pay for what you get, anywhere between £200 - £2000....

750 sounds a very good price silver, nice work.

I know of a good spray guy/shop with ovens in Sydenham, very good, nice guy who does loads of work on Audis for the local main dealers.
If you want I'll dig up some numbers if you want.

this guy does the lot matey and is renowned by all garages in the area for touch up work to full jobs , he also stated he can go dearer if ye want top notch material but i want a good sand down rust treater and sterling silver paint nice lacker job not show material aint got the cash for that ha ha

[bapesta]

well cash and quality is obviously the main issue....needed a price idea so i know how much i'll be digging into the savings fund.

cheers for all the help guys. I'll have a look at some of the local bodyshops. Liverpool is a bit out of my way, so im sticking to about 30miles from where i am. fingers crossed i find the one.


Your help has been greatly appreciated.

[TouringTash]

so where are you based?

[m_jermyn]

You really do get what you payed for in this case.....

For 750 GBP on the face of it that does seem like a good price.... HOWEVER I guarantee that it will be done with the cheapest paints and materials.. Later on the paint will fade and probably peel off..

To paint a 2 door e30 it would cost me almost 750GBP in materials and that is without me even charging for labour and we have not even repaired any rust or stripped the car yet.

2000GBP is getting close to the correct price but it would want to have the smallest amount of repairs needed.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
Ive just got hold of an tech 1 kit in need of paint and this guy sounds ideal, not too far away for me. Can you send me his contact details please?

It should be costing around 2500 pounds and it depends on the quality of the paint also.
