What would you expect to pay for a full outside respray, mine is reflex silver but after painting my valance today I wouldn't mind saving for one.
What's your opinions
-
Upwards of £1500 for a decent one
-
Wrap it.

Wrap it.
Won't look half as good though will it?
-
Hmmmm. Guess you are correct. Will be a 'pastel' like colour opposed to a metallic touch.
I am not sure I'd ever get my re sprayed, just too much for such an old car :sad:

It's just so much dollar, you could buy another car with that cost lol

A decent wrap won't cost much less than a respray
-
Wrapping can be done a HELL of a lot cheaper than a decent respray. My brother does vinyl wrapping. Still think it looks nowhere near as good as paint with the exception of gloss white on a van.

Perhaps go for a solid white/black?
How bad is your car now?
-
My car is in good nick, only a couple of light scratches, I wanted bits smoothed and arches done more than anything
I won't wrap mine that's for sure, could end up hiding a multitude of sins over time, and none are good metallic colours
-
Mine was £1800 and I think its worth it Thought about a wrap but im just not keen have seen a few different wraps and not for me...
What you need to decide is how long are you planning to keep the car and what your willing to put it because I tell ya once you start your wallet will get light!

I think I will save and respray it as I tend to keep it and although I would love some mods I can't do both, and I have to live within my means.... If only the car wasn't buggered when I bought it :( £1700 in the end!!! That's the respray :angry:
All passion in any car more than 10 years old will be a money pit
-
Only if its being used as a daily that is But yeh Mk4s are MoneyPits I have spent thousands and probable plan on spending thousands more!

I had mine almost fully done not an amazing job but its 100% better than it was and it was a cheap job for me.

I was in a similar boat to niño where we knew someone who have us a massive discount. We had my sisters clio fully painted (minus the roof) and body tidied up for £600 and it was a top top job. The fella resprays all sorts of cars from feraris to mag featured GTR's. But I would expect to pay nearer £1500-£2000 usually.

I'm thinking of black vinyl on the roof and grill and painting Vw badge reflex silver

Spoke to a company today, they said full colour change £800 and £1000 including door shuts, that's really not bad at all

Think he means a wrap which is about right.
