Who has had a full respray?

[hgt20v]

Just trying to make head and tail of the quotes i've been getting from some bodyshops as the guys I was going to use just went bust

Basically to totally re-spray the car including smooth the boot off, fit the new front splitter etc etc (basically bare shell it) i'm getting quotes back of around the £2k mark

Anyone who has had work done got any figures to compare with?

Cheers,

I'm getting a full respray (standard-ish metallic colour), dents removed, new front bumper and spoiler fitted for ~£1000. However I have had quotes close to twice this, especially when looking at more expensive paints.

 

[alainax]

i had one!!! I cheated tho. got kit fitted, de badged smoother delocked, dents out, custom spoiler, custom vents, windows tinted exhaust, install, bad boyed, wiper conversion, alloys, trick glitter paint respray for £1500.


should be around the 1 k mark for a full respray

Work will do my colleagues VR6 for £600. hehe. Shouldn't be less than £1000 though. Ring 01924 443322 and ask to be put through to the Bodyshop. If you ask nicely and book in early enough, they should give you a coutecy car too i think.

EDIT: It is CD Bramall Ford in Batley, about 7 miles south of Leeds.

Thanks for the replies. I think that the quotes i've been getting have been ott.
I thought about around the £1k mark just for the respray and fitting the new front splitter, but with smoothing the boot over as an extra.
Gonna make some more enquiries I think

Smurfhead, thanks for the offer but it's too far from me to take my car over to. Really looking for a place within 50 miles of myself so I can keep an eye on whoever does it.

£1K for an outside job and £2K for a full inside and out job, better to strip out and do as much work as possible yourself.

If you can, do as much as you can yourself. If you can do the prep and get the car to a stage where the top coats can be applied, you'll save a bucket of cash
I've heard of people who have resprayed their cars for a few hundred quid by themselves - and the finishes were pretty good

How much would a door be too be prepared and resprayed? (sorry to hijack)

How much would a door be too be prepared and resprayed? (sorry to hijack)

it depends on the type of paint to be used (metallic, mica, cellulose, glitter, etc).

 

[The Negotiator]

GOod point, erm basic standard gloss.

 

[christopher watson]

does the door have rust (and how bad), dents, scratches.

 

[The Negotiator]

Ah I don't know all this lol

I knew I was being far too general and would have told people off before.

A car I am vaguely (not more than that) interested in has had a bang on the door which has been badly pushed out and the paint broken. I would be looking at getting a good condition door, having it sprayed and swapping it OR getting a new door skin.

But all pie in the sky really if I am honest lol.

 

[christopher watson]

well for a good rust free door resprayed with cellulose paint, would be about £40-£50 from me.

Chris, this is no reflection on you or your quality of work but I would have to get it done by a body shop, it wouldn't be up to me.

i was just giving you a price, but if your looking for a bodyshop price, it all depends on what type of bodyshop (main dealer, specialist, or small garage).

 

[Liam]

Paul you could get a door from a scrappy for a similar price to pulling/spraying.

Anyway back on topic.
