My poor old Mk3 golf has seen some hard times in its life. When I got it there was a huge scratch running down the passenger side. Halfway from the front door, across rear door (with a bit of a circle back on itself), then part way across the back quarter. All the handle recesses are scratched (as if someone wore rings a lot, or held the keys while opening the doors). There are also a lot of other scratches and stone chips around, most too deep to cut back.
I was thinking of getting a re-spray (when funds allow), but wanted to know if it would cost a lot less to go for a regular colour, like Black or White, rather than get it re-done in the existing Dragon Green.
Also, it is possible to do what I think is called a "blow over"? just give it a sprucing up, rather than a complete respray.
All panels and parts would need to be done regardless of colour. A few dings will need patching and leveling too, but I can do that myself.
If it saves a lot more, I can do some prep too, like sanding back to primer. Not too sure what would be involved really.
Are some colours cheaper, due to being more readily available?
Thanks, sorry it was so many questions, hehe.
