Respray estimate

[paulrenn]

Hi guys

 

Has anyone had their car resprayed, and if so, how much did it cost?

Alternatively, quotations would be welcomed.  I guess the price will

be far too much if the engine is lifted, so exterior painting only...

 

Cheers

 

Paul

hi pauo

           theres a company in leighton buzzard called B.C.R they have a skyline in at the moment have also recently done supra ,i've seen them all close up and they are always first class jobs, it obviously depends where you are based but i would say its worth having a look for youself if its not to far let me know if you want any more info.

Where bouts are you based?

 

Coming from the "Hot Hatch" generation, ive got a lot of mates who have had stupid amounts of Body work done, there are several highly reputable places I can recommend (Herts/Berkshire/Surrey/Northamptonshire) depending where you are based.

 

At a guess though, if your going for a basic spray in the same colour anywhere from 1K - 1.5K Different colour? then its gonna go up depending what paint u use (standox and chromaflair are £300+ per litre!!)

Hi Rob, Dave...

 

Well I found a Supra in seemingly good order, 80K KMS, but

it is WHITE...it is the most ghastly colour for the Supra, very

unflattering - makes it look like a beached whale or something

 

The car is in Sweden, and I am in Finland...but I'm English so I

can drop the car off with my folks for a while if needs be.

I'm just trying to see whether making it the colour I really want,

either a really shiny black or blue, would make it too expensive.

Perhaps it would be hard to sell later if it was resprayed, as I

personally would be wary of a resprayed car...
