respray cost

How much do you think is a fair price for a complete respray? Just respray no repairs? Been quoted around £1000

i want a respray but was thinking of buying vinyl and wrapping the car myself.
mostly easy flat pannels on a golf.

£1000 is about right, you may even be looking at more for a top notch job.

ask for numbers of prev clients and call them and call round to see them... you'll soon realise if they 'hand chosen':)

Labour, my front bumper was £140, painting / bodwork is not cheap these days.
