If it is a colour change then you could pay anything from £1500 upwards for a good quality job

Bloody hell that is a good price

Cool, thanks for the contact. Have you got any pictures? How far back did he strip the old paint?

he resprayed it first in a dark colour that would make the metalic black look right ,
then put the metalic black on after ,he had the car for 2 weeks ,just taken some pictures but ive not polished it yet ,and not put my wheels on ,
car before it went in

That is nice, i'd love to give mine a respray job too as it's looking dull and full of little scratches.
