how much should i pay for a decent paint job on my s2 turbo in black been quoted silly prices

 

all over ect maybe Ł2500 or more for a got job

 

black shows every imperfection,depends how much prep it needs mate

 

got a quote of 4k nearly passed out

 

in the bodyshop i work weve just done a full respray on an h plate s2 in red and the customer didnt get much change out of 2 grand and to be honest that just seems to be the average price nowadays.

 

where are you in the UK?

 

doncaster s.yorks not much i can find as i have never done this b4

 

id say half that be bout rite ,for a full respary inside out engine bay ,try few different place that sounds like main dealer price

 

prices will vary

a garage employing 15 blokes with a masive lock up is going to be more expensive than a one man band show with one oven

go with a recommedation not the price

 

I'd say Ł2k for a complete respray was on the cheap side.

I'd expect to pay more for a really good job.

 

i want it to be decent as i have just restored the whole underneath of the car everything replaced with new and powder coated parts

 

spot on mate, recommendation is the only way to choose, dont think you have 2k so spend so your gonna spend it, you may get onother bloke do the same job for 500 quid

 

hopefully someone on here and give you the details of someone decent in your area

all the best

 

cheers mate was hoping someone would recommend someone thanks

 

definitely more than 1500 if its black

 

only person i now that way well bit away is robbo /bolton busy man i think tho ,mabe bit outa ya way tho

 

cheers mate all help is greatfull

 

what about Jacko, he comes across as a decent bloke?

One thing to remember as said go on recomendation BUT also remeber that getting your car tralored 100 odd miles to a place that will do the job you want at the price you want is better than a guy round the corner doing a job your not happy with for the same money!!

If you have spent time getting it restored, the paint is the cherry on the cake and makes the car, I wouldn't think twice about spending a few hundred quid getting it to a place that will make you happy.

 

your right mate spent a lot of time and effort gettin it like it is now so dont want to spoil it with a crap paint job

 

lota people used robbo on here ,sure some one have his number

jacko do's lota cars on here good fella 2 pm

 

black needs to be good mate and the prep will need to be good. Also, someone who knows their RS's will understand the love we have for them.

I took my old S1 to a bloke for some work, he said 'is it worrth it, it's just an old escort?'

True, but he wasn't getting the work after that.

 

that does pee me off when they say its just an old ford they just dont know how we feel about our pride and joy
