how much would you guys pay, or have paid for a respray. my car is now fully stripped all glass interior, dash etc. and all the bodykit will be removed and rubbed down. most of the rot removed but needing a new windscreen panel fitted. i want a std tungey grey paint job.
am sure you could get a decent spray for about £1200
from 1000 to 3000 for some thing realy special
yhrough checking
i found that between 1000 and 12000 wil get u a semi decent to pretty good respray
anythin up from that is jus robbery or a bloody good job
:)
£12000 :eek: wtf are you on???:laugh: lmaoQuote:

Paintwork is a skill, and all in the prep work, with that comes time/ labour, tbh nearer the 2k or up mark, fair play if you can get it cheaper though,.
agreed you get for what you payQuote:

takes skill to prep a car properly ,, ever car i have had down which is soposed to been so called preped ready to paint has been no where nearQuote:

Are you having the whole car painted, In and out of all panels, shuts etc if so I would be worried about paying only £2000.
just the outside of the car and door shuts.
Tbh it's all in the prep, i put in around 60 hours prep on my car, the painter came in twice to check it then it took him a morning to paint and bake it Even at £25+ vat an hour that's still nearly £1800 plus cost me £300 in materials, ok fair do's it was a change of colour but i didn't do the engine bay. You might think 60 hours is a lot and maybe i didn't know what i was doing and that's why it took so long but i have prepped plenty of cars before and the painter has never had to do any extra. I would expect to pay around £2500 for a good job.
With the front panel welded in I reckon about £2000 for a tidy job.
2k is to much i will scrap it if it gets close and reshell it. its a track car so not getting to carried away.
My current car has a very good shell.
The 3/4 glass areas, tailgate and front screen all need to be repaired and I'm in a fortunate position of having a friend who sprays in his spare time.
He's quoted me a very reasonable amount and it will include me helping prep the car.
I would expect a FULL respray to cost between 1.5 - 2.5k, that being a same colour spray!
As a few have mentioned, the cost is in the preparation.
That will usually reflect in the respray!
You could also put a grand into that with a proper flat and polish if you want a glass finish.Quote:

try your local bodyshop first mate, if you after that type of job theres always someone out there that would do it for cheapo, whether the paint would stay on the whole way round the track is another story;)
Goodluck fella.
If it's a track car go get some rattle cans!!!! :D
If its a track car and you can prep it yourself why dont you have a go at painting it yourself. Save you a shed load of cash:)

i will get some pics up and over the next few days and see what you guys rekon of the shell.
12000
sorry bout tht
ment 1200 ovsly
hahaha
i was quoted 1700 for a respray by a really good company were i stay
i thot tht was good...i have been quoted cheaper
though
hope u get a good price and job to go with it
prep it, get the dents out then give it a matt black finish..
its meant to look hardcore so the worse the better
:)
matt black would look good but it would mean inside and engine bay too. so colour change is out the question.
sell me your turbo/cage and buy a clio 172:cooter:
aii, problem is although you've stripped and done most of the work on it, most places would still prep it themselves so as to make sure the paint adheres correctley, filling defects, using sealers and 2 pac primers,so the new paint doesn't play up etc/ u might have a bloody good shell, but the last thing that shop will want is the hassle of rework, if say a month down the line the paint flakes, blisters etc.:)
thats a good point well made :).Quote:

it does not require any special skills as it does not involve spraying and will cost you well under 150-200 quid doing it yourself .
i have not actually done it myself due to lack of space but when i looked into
this a few years back i have seen really good examples of finished jobs done
around the world ,also had a go myself on a few spare spoliers etc (athome)
at the time ,results were pretty good . some people i have seen even managed mirror
finish jobs with extra wet sanding /polishing etc .
just google "painting with a roller" in google if interested :agree: :coffee:
Just buy a 5 track car with a decent paint job, bet you wont wanna track it once you painted it, i thought that with mt 5 and 3k later its my baby on the road getting polished with love.
ROLLER!!! MAN GET OUT.:crap:
we painted this with brushes...

LOL, That's awesome!
Me and some friends are considering respraying my daily driver.. Probably white. I was thinking a matte green (army style) would look good..
its only stayed camo for a few weeks... will dig out the pics of what we did for FCS 07 lol
here is it after more rollering and painting... lol

and the 2008 model, this time with a renault flavour
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...wsmcuk/Aaa.jpg
bit of a hi-jack, but some examples of what 'can' be done on a budget lol
Lol.. So, when you gonna paint over that Carrera paint job of yours with pink camo?
when a monkey pops out my arse! lol
am considering gettin a colour change when funds allow tho.... kinda miss it being tungy and std looking lol
Are you made of money :eek:
not at all, 5 is in storage for the 1st time since i've owned it to try and save a bit of money. the bodywork is still mint so it wont need the full works to colour change, just a bit of prep, engine out etc. etc. and it'll have a new lick of paint one day... hopefully as soon as i can claim my bank charges back again lol
Honestly? What brand of paint do you reccomend, will it need an undercoat of steel magnolia?:cool:Quote:
