Full body respray

[Dusty]

Hey guys got a few chips all over the car very small but can see it's going to start rusting anytime soon, was wondering how much a full respray in the same colour cost?

Cheers

Dusty

[neilsmith]

about £800-1000 would be a good price but you could pay upto £1500.

[Dusty]

Ok cheers mate

All depends in who you know

[Ryan5793]

for a real decent job your looking atleast 1500 plus, anything less will most likely be shit

[hookie663]

I got mine fully sprayed also s bonnet fitted and new front live sports lip to 1300 but the fela did it is my mate lol

[Dusty]

That's sweet haha

If only we all had mates like that

I'll ring a few places and see what they come back with

Cheers again

It should be around 1200 for a full respray if anyone says any more then there having your pants down ;-) (I'm a painter )

I was quoted 1500 & 1800 for a full spray, this included fitting new wings a bonnet also

You get what you pay for imo and paint is something im very picky about so i would rather have it done right first time

This is more along the lines of what we charge down my way..

Can get it dome around 5-600

a member on here painted my car.. couldn't fault his work.. i.m not easy pleased either lol prices can vary all depends on how much work needs done.. there's alot of factors to consider, rust etc

[AndyH]

Just had my starlet quoted for a respray having the full glanza kit fitted and sprayed for £1500.

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

1500 is a good price for a perfect job i would say

Or you could try the following guide http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20127 off Detailing world for a cheaper but possibly time consuming option. I've done this on stonechips and scratches on my car and has done the job quite well, or at least made the stonechips/ scratches easier on the eye.

With rattle cans yeah

[Hawwy]

I had mine done for that much may be some pics on here still had it ibis white it was mint so i dont know where the fuck u got rattle cans from lol

If you do the prep yourself you could knock a few quid off buddy. I will be getting mine done soon in a different colour and I will be doing as much prep as I can. Be alot cheaper if the car just needs primed and painted!

How long u reckon it would take to do prep mate and what would I need?

Would I beable to get away with doin most of the prep with all panels and doors still fitted?

Haha 500 dreamers I work in a body shop and you wouldn't just paint it if you wanted it doing properly get rid of all the chips and dings then spray properly looking at £1500+ this is a proper job though anything less is probably a bad job.

You would get away with sanding, filling, masking off etc.. straight forward enough, my mate is a painter so he points me in the right direction, but im sure there are guides to help you out! Will definitely save you money!

[fordie_glanzaV]

Agreeed with murphy and also being a painter in body shop its never a case of just painting.

Prep is the most important thing to a paint job

Unless uv had experience, If i was u id save your pennies and let the body shop do everything.

I hate painting ontop of other peoples prep.

Paint wont cover poor prep and ull b unhappy if its not how u want it and u wont have a leg to stand on if u take it back and complain that its not how u wanted.

As i said above going rate down my way is 1500+

[Ryan-11]

Yeah my work wont touch anything that someone else has prepped, you'd b £1500+ from my work aswell!

[jordan walker]

I got quoted 1500 and 1600 from two reputable painters near me (they have both knocked out some pretty naughty show cars)

On another end of the scale my friend prepped his civic coupe himself and had it painted off a completely different painter near me for 300 and it is the worst paint I have ever seen fish eyes and runs everywhere and after about 6 months on some parts of the car the paint actualy started to crack and come off in places! I recently sprayed my interior my self with a a gun (first time using a gun thought may aswell try) and it was 100% better than the paint on my friends civic!

so like everyone has said its best to pay mega bucks for paint or not at all because although you think these 300 and 500 pound jobbys are great value and they cant be that bad... they can haha

[Skimmy237]

I'm a painter myself and in my body shop is £1500 minimum for a blow over of the same colour and tbh if I was getting my car done and wanting the colour changed and not doing it myself I would pay 2k plus as you get what you pay for ! But obv I would just do it myself
