ddcboyle Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Out of curiosity for when I do take off my vinyl, which is probably at the wns of the year, whats a normal price to have a car resprayed the same colour as it was originally. My zed is silver underneath the vinyl. Only reason id look at respray is because bonnet is stone chipped, front bumper is replica in white and fender has paint cracked on edge. Would look out of place if I got 3 panels resprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 guide price is about 200-300 a panel. thingsa like bonnets and bumpers tend to be about £100 more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensh65 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I get my car back tomorrow night, after having the bonnet bumper and wings sprayed sunset orange. That was £300 in total and also included smoothing the front badge but I have been told before that the prices in Scotland are quite a bit cheaper than down south.

ddcboyle Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ask RT-Performance.co.uk I always seem to be pming them about prices haha, they might be getting sick of it wont be til end of the year though, but intend on getting skirts and possibly chargespeed rear bumper so whole bodykit will need respray, thats why im thinking it could be cheaper and more beneficial getting car resprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Where u based the guys I always use do it for approx 150 a panel, my rear charge speed cost me 250 to have it prepped, painted and fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ideally. 600 for whole car, does that sound too low a budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This place is in Swindon so not too far and they do a awesome job, they are called smartcaruk, they also do out Ferrari dealerships stuff too so u know they are the mutts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyg Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) If prob be looking closer to 1k but it depends what sort of full respect ur after, u can have it done properly, under the bonnet engine bay and all the bits u don't really see or just a surface respray I also know smartcar will do it cheaper in winter time as they are much quieter in the colder months Edited July 18, 2013 by Dannyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ive seen alot of dodgy spraying where it starts to crack all over etc, thats my main worry. And I womt know until 6months down the line. Again I could just have front respray, but will it be obvious the fromt has been done and rear hasnt?

hensh65 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Based west london but I go to scotland for 2weeks every 3 months. So edinburgh or london area There is a lot of places accross the central belt of Scotland that would be cheaper. I can ask when I pick my car up how much he would have charged for a full respray to give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ideally. 600 for whole car, does that sound too low a budget? I'll do it for £600...with a rattle can! Far too low for a decent job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ideally. 600 for whole car, does that sound too low a budget? I paid £600 to have an entire car resprayed once, but that was back in about 1996 and that was cheap back then. it really depends on each bodyshop really. Some will be more flexible, especially if they are smaller "one man band" type places. Some even drop the price if you do all the prep etc. If you go to a bigger place which is used to doing insurance work then they will charge you the earth. Either way, definitely try to see some of their previous work first. The quality of work ive seen varies drastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You could get a Blowover type job for somewhere between your 600-1000 budget im thinking, but not a proper full respray job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensh65 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Im just looking to get rid of stone chips and just buff the outside back up again. Dont need inside engine area etc done Silver is one of the harder colours to match I have heard, however if you get the bonnet bumper and wings then they will be able to blend them so by the time it reaches the door pannel and pillars it shouldn't be noticable. Did you not wrap your car yourself ? re wrap it in forrest matt green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I couldnt pay 2,4 for a respray. No matter how good the job was. I think I might just get front bumper sprayed and see how it looks, unless I can find a garage at my sort of price that a member has been to before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
