Evening all,
As per the title, what should I expect to pay to have my cab resprayed? It's Mauritius Blue (metallic) and although there's no rust visible, I screwed up a DIY attempt to spray the two rear quarters and the offside front wing and it looks awful. The bootlid has also been resprayed at some point in the damp and has bubbled up to the point it's all spotted now. I'm guessing it will have to be rubbed down to the base, which I could potentially do myself to save a few quid.
Anyone had experience of this?
Typical price for respray of a cab?

Cheers guys. I was quoted £1500 by a local spray place, but wasn't sure if that was likely to be a bodge job for that price.
Hi Andy - yup, still got the cab. Keep thinking I should sell because it doesn't get a lot of use these days, but every time I see it on the driveway from the front, I remember why I got into E30's in the first place - still looks fabulous 25 years on.
