Hi to all peeps.

Let me know what you think about this.

I have been quoted £995 +vat to have my girl re-sprayed in metallic black just on the outside.

I am personally not bothered about spraying on the inside, she is already black I just want her to be tarted up a bit.

Is that a reasonable price?.

Another guy I went to, to have the same thing done wanted £1,500

[Fizz]

is that including the kit your were considering to get?

[Calisto]

nope not incliding kit.

[Calisto]

Is this a good price?

I take it this is just a one coat blo-over, if so I been told to pay between £1000-1500 for this. The more you can afford the better though. :)

my one coat blow-over including lacker cost me £1350+vat and that wasnt a top job.........totaly agree the more you can afford the better the job will be....... :(

add another £800/900 to that and you could buy my whole car which is already tarted up.. :P

[Calisto]

seriously Fizz.

I love your car, if it was an auto and I had the cash I would take her of your hands.

But I cant.

Will let you know what happens next.

i can tell you guys that having a car respray is not cheap, it cost me just over 1k a few years ago for my ex-Mazda 323F to have it full respray in silver, and dont even ask how much its had cost me to have my Lexus resprayed in Rage paint........ also the most important thing is to find a good bodyshop to do the job properly...
