Respray

[DannyL]

I am looking into getting a full respray, but im not sure on prices could someone tell me what kind of money i need to be spending.
Also if any one can recomend any good sprayers local to me (Birmingham) that would be usefull

i'm having my mk1 done. bare metal respray. its costing me 2500. its expensive but i know the paint finish i'll get will be like glass, the guy who's doin it for me is a perfectionist! lol
u could probably get it done cheaper than that, depends what ur having done, if theres any welding needed, engine bay being done??

About a grand for a starter then depending on colour, amount you want painted (inside door shuts ect) the skys the limit  

[DannyL]

Well i wanted the whole lot resprayed inside and out (metalic black) but 2500 is too much for me i just cant afford that at the moment i was willing to go up to around 1200 is it possible to do this with my amount of cash??

Not a chance in hell mate!

well mine is going down to bare metal. you could possibly get it done for that much as u could just scotch down the lacquer and top layer of paint and go from there, saves alot of time and effort meaning less money. i'd say ur looking 1500+
ur best taking ur golf round to a few garages for quotes and while your there ask for examples of their work so u know what the quality will be like.

Could you give me an estimate for just a body respray?

[Len]

Uruk Hai already did! As he said an outside only starts at about a grand.
And thats not a quote - I'm not a spayer!

With a complete respray its not the actual spraying but most of the work is stripping the car and putting it back together.

If you delivered a totally stripped shell to a sprayer and said paint that for me and he didnt have much bodywork/rust/damage to sort then yes it could be done for less than a grand.
But then of course you would have to take it away again and put it back together!

depending on what needs sorting on the car, ie rust dents etc it will vary loads. if the inside of the car is fine and there is little or no rust then you'll be ok with £1500.

like len said its the time taking a car to pieces and re-building it that takes time which hikes the price up a fair bit. look in the yellow pages call up everyone, some places won't touch full re-sprays as they are too time consuming and not cost effective.
