Full body respray

[alimac81]

Anyone any idea how much a full body respray would cost? (using original colour)

 

[EvilKinevil]

depends on bodyshop and will vary to how much prep work will have to be done?

to spray only your looking at about £50 a pannel

 

[WeeJase]

why you re-spraying it?

I've been quoted around £1k+ any extra for prep work for a full respray on my LC after some seagulls used it for target practice and their sh1te ate through the paint

Yes mate you are lookin at around the 1K area for a full respray in the same colour... but do you need a full respray?
As for prep work if the car has no dents or bumps then its straight forward respray!

 

[alimac81]

the spoiler, bonet, front bumper are all different shades of red, and the rear arches need work as they are rusting through

i'd be weighing up how much i loved the car ,and how much it is worth V's how long i intend to keep it,because a 1k respray is not going to increase its value by 1k

i want mine doin soon, with some extra bits. bonnet extension, vent in wing, smoothing etc. im guessin mine will cost that bit extra to do due to the paint being pearlescent.

i mean giving the car a respray is awesome u get your pride n joy lookin brand new however its like jason says, is it worth it? cuz you wont get your money back, if anything ppl may think: its maybe had some accident damage??
i had a 206GTi with full kit and resparay and altho it only cost me £300 (paint n materials im lucky i can do it myself and had a decent boss) it was a nightmare to sell some ppl just wont go near a car thats had a respray ,stupid i know but just thought it let you know what happend 2 me!

Thats true, but the car wont be worth much anyway when i come to sell it, i want to keep it for at least another year, and it still goes very well, i may try and respray the bonet wings and bumper see how it goes ( may even try it myself ) but at the moment it looks a bit shoddy
