Full respray costs
« on: 03 April 2014, 19:59 »
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

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:

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?
