? no?

[Ethel]

Costs could vary massively depending on prep required, paint used, exterior or interior as well. You could very easily be talking 4 figures.

How long is a piece of string?

As Ethel says it depends on what you want done exactly, and what condition the car is is.

Would need more info to give a ball park figure idea

My resprays start at £1000 for a prep, prime and blow over including materials.
Rust and dent repairs etc bump it up a bit

im paying £150 for mine, but all the guy is doing is putting the paint on........thats it,

[panelbeaterpeter]

1 to 3k for a good job.

[chominsh]

If you do all job by your self it would be around 1k not more!!!!!!

[MiniMonty]

I'm about to pay £400 on the basis that I take the car there, strip out all the glass, lights etc.,
then my man will straighten the panels, doors etc., fill any dints and dents, sand, prep, prime and paint. I then rebuild it.
Feels about right to me as the paint is half the cost.

Best wishes
Monty


edit - just can't spell anymore...

A good respray can cost anything from £1000 upwards, depending on how much prep is needed, any welding needing doing, what sort of finish you want, do you want the inside doing,boot,engine bay ?? A basic colour, metallic,pearl,metal flake etc etc. Would normally spend at least a week just preping it.

[scoticus]

Priced mine up the other night, its going to cost me £3600

Im getting mine done with the latest paint from the 'house of kolour'

Spraying the car high finish gloss black
also using a metal flake red laquer

not including the primier there will be 30 very thin layers of paint, and 15 layers of laquer, broken down to 7 with metal flake and 8 without.
