Full Respray Questions. (london Area)

[LeviDane]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to get a respray in London. I have a red celica and I'm looking to give it a full respray in a similar shade of red.

I'm looking to purchase a new body kit (front/rear bumpers and side skirts) before getting a respray so I'm guessing they won't take too much prep except for fitting?

Luckily the body is in good condition and only have a few minor dents and stone chips.

I have a friend who used to work in a body shop who can prep the car for me to get it ready for paint.

What places can anyone recommend that offers a good quality job but not crazy expensive and what price roughly should I expect?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi, Levi, and welcome to T.O.C.

I can't help re your question, but if your car is a 140, make sure you keep some money to one side, as 2001 models are renowned for needing a replacement engine at some stage.

A mate of mine just had a full respray done. Cost him £400. I'll find out the name of the place for you and post it here.

You got any pictures of the finished product? £400 is super cheap. Lol i'm sure it would barely cover the cost of the materials.

However it would be great if you could find out the name, cheers

£400?! It cost me half of that just to get one door done on my old Fiesta!

Yep you guys are right, sorry my fault. Turns out that £400 was for two panels; front door and wing.

His name is Theo 07961196443, his shop is E17.

Knew it was too good to be true ;)

Thanks mate.

I've decided I'm going to wrap it myself with a friend of mine that used to work in a body shop who just finished wrapping his vehicle. Materials are looking at around £300

i was looking to do a full respray bt vinyl wrap seems ahell of alot cheaper but does it actually shine as a re-spray coz i tend to clean my car quite alot every 2weeks and every 1month and a half i get it polished/waxed so would that still work on a vinyl wrap
