Default average price for a good respray?

looking at a car that needs a resprey, possibly in the engine bay too if budget permits

may need a front wing, needs tailgate changing too which is supplied and also other bits and pieces and dents around the car nothing major, possibly some minor welding sprayed in the same colour too

..how much do you rekon on average?

Thats the 1st question my m8 asks tbh if your after a TOP job then then your looking 2k min for a 4 door car like a saph my m8 said to me i'll be looking @ 2 to 2.5 @ m8s rates ect But i have seen his work and he does'nt cut corners

Heres a pic of a golf my m8 did for a REGULAR customer of his will into his golfs so did it cheap but tbh he did say it was to cheap when he had finished it @ Ł1700

But then he has got other work out of it he's doing a golf thats going to be a show car with NEW EVER THING and a VR6 engine in a mk2 so its swings and round abouts




Shame i could get pics of it with a wind screen in and the grill
I trailered it back to anther workshop to have some wiring bit tidyed up ect on the engine ba y ect it has a G60 engine in it

PM Martin-Reyland


He has a paintshop by him that do fantastic work for very sensible prices indeed.

Doug Stirling has just had his saph repainted there and it looks fantastic and it was FAR cheaper than you would expect for that quality of work (although i dont know if it was a bit of a hot deal as he was having some other stuff done too so i wont quote the price as an example)

Why ask if you dont like the reply. To get a Top job done it will be over 4k.
You can get a covering of paint for far less, but dont expect people to think its other than a cheap respray. Like engine mods do it properly & then you only have to do it once..
