Dave Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hard one to pin a price too Gary mate, seems that places charge all different prices! I'm trying to find a reputable place for to get a full respray done on DAwns deck and my mb6. Kinda wary though as it's hard to find out reps for these places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Price can depend on a lot of factors. I've had one of my old cars changed from Blue to gunmetal but I did all the prep, stripped all the windows and trim and delivered the shell to them. They fitted a few new panels (front wings and bonnet) and aligned them and resprayed the entire car for £800 cash. I refitted the windows and body trim. I'm looking to have my deck resprayed inside and out for a colour change, have one rear wing replaced and new sills fitted. Quote so far for the wing, inside and sills is £1000. As the body shop will be crawling over a roll cage and getting into all the little areas I think this is a good price. They will need to see the rest of the car to give me a firm price for all as there are loads of little dents and knocks I want taken out of it but I'm expecting a quote of £2000 easy. Mine will literally be a bare shell on rollers to get that price and I will rebuild it when it comes back. The more work you can do the cheaper it gets and if you can strip all the little trim bits not only will it save money and chance of any overspray which is my biggest bug bear when spraying any car - I see it and wonder if it's been in an accident or just been botched lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I had my EK4 resprayed, full body! Went from Frost White to Championship White, so had both sides of the bonnet, both sides of the doors and tailgate, then the door shuts, slam panel, inside the boot etc. Only place that didn't see fresh paint was the engine bay and it still cost £2500 even with me gutting the interior to save on labour! Came with a three year guarantee though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
