Full Respray

Advanced PassionFord User
I must have had my respray really really cheap. I paid £1300 (cash) to turn this....
to this...
That was a full windows out re-spray, fixing the damage by welding in a new slam panel and straightening the rest, fitting the bodykit (and new front wings), flushing the boot, the washer nipple on the roof, removing door locks. Also custom mounted the sidelights indicators into the new bumper (cut them out of the old one and flipped them around).
It took them a few months to get it done but the work was top notch.

lol @ people saying 'i get it FREE!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE'
great! that helps the lad loads
asking if 900 quid is a good price is like saying 'someones selling a car for 2 grand, is it worth it?'...
it depends on a lot of things, what paint he's using, how many coats, how good he is, is he stripping seals/windows/trim etc off, is he gonna do the prep work to a high standard etc
if he's good, 900 sounds about right.
paint jobs seem a lot dearer down south for some reason i had a mate with a body shop and he had lads drive up for 6+ hours to let him spray their car as he was quoting half the price what southern bodyshops were...even the scabby bodyshops!

and dont be fooled by the 'cash' blags! its the oldest sales game in the book...
'yeah mate, give me cash and i'll do it for this price'...
it's the price they would have done it for anyway...because even if you'd paid by card and they'd have to pay tax on the larger amount (1800), it would still work out that they pocket more than 1500 anyway!

you get what you pay for is BOLLOX im afraid
people just charge more,,,,, theres some cheep places out there as roid boy mentions
tbh id ONLY go to a insurance aproved place that turns out volume not places that take 4 weeks to repspray a car
a blokei go the gym with works for solus,hes sorting all mine out for just under the normal but they charge too much as they have to discount insurance companys
there work is spot on,they have all the right materials and tools, they have staff who ONLY do certain jobs, that way theres less of a fuck up
2 men in a shed,, no matter if you paied them 10k wont mean its a proper job
kevins car,,, sprayed in a room,,,, your all saying how good it looks when its just been done
give it 3 years then see what the difference is !!!
oven only for me in a room that ONLY has repsrays done in it, controlled, sealed and vented

loving the BM max
id laugh when i see pics of resprays and because it looks shiny people say 'that looks a good job!'
my paint is awful, patchy and matt in places from previous DIY repairs...and with a wash and a picture from a distance it looks mint...as would any car, even if it was orange peeled to fuck!

soo true what a was makes
i washed my bm for the first time since april before i went to the ring
the neighbours thought i bought a new car
cant belive the difference 8 months of dirt and 10k of motorway high speed blats can do to a car
the missus sister thinks we NOW have some money and before i washed it she thought i was poor
