jazz1 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm getting a full respray done this month as I'm not very happy with my current paintwork with having some paint reactions/chips from previous spray job and full body kit adjustments for perfection. My brothers friend is giving me discount but I've seen his work it's very high class as he does prestige cars and done my brothers Scooby which I couldn't fault one bit everything was perfect and done professionally full Primer to oven bake. My brother called me saying he will do it for 2k only because he knows my brother well, is that a good price? Although I'm helping him strip everything off.

Scott Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 For an absolutely top job I'd say it's a good price. Windows out respray would normally be 2-3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 It's very hard to ask on a forum about bodyshop prices as I have seen people have resprays as low as £1500 !! At the end of the day you get what you pay for and for a full respray not inc shuts etc ..2k is a very good price if as you say there quality of work is very good IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I paid that for mine and no regrets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You can pick up Audi R8's for less than £40k these days, when someone says prestige I am thinking Rolls Royce... don't judge on run of the mill cars On a serious note, don't look at pictures, go off work he has actually done, although his done your brothers car (which he hardly drives). See if you can find a car which has been driven for a couple of years and see how well the paint job has lived up to. It is the best way to work out if he is any good. I can make a rubbish paint shop look good behind a camera. You should know being a photographer Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice and a hell of a lot cheaper if it just needs a good detail...... you could use the savings on a camera and photography lessons....... and rentokill.

abtin90 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 2k sounds reasonable. Are you going for the same colour again Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 mine will be almost twice that price, make sure you see examples of his work beforehand. Unless you are confusing what a "full" respray is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Re spray prices can be so sporadic, obviously it depends on the condition of the car. Just make sure you get the engine bay the same colour.... Nothing worse than an engine bay that is different to the car!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 What's the deal painting the engine bay, I assume the engine and loom stuff would need to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 What's the deal painting the engine bay, I assume the engine and loom stuff would need to come out? Engine bay is being painted on mine aswell! I found it easier to take the engine out as it was a complete colour change. The engine loom came out with the engine but the other looms like for the fuse box and lights stayed in and was just uncliped from the body so they could mask them up and hang them on a frame to keep them out of the way. Also took out all brake lines and ABS pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
