Hi all

Just looking at a ballpark figure for my focus for exterior and door shuts, bearing in mind I will supply the primer/paint, and I will do the disassembly/reassembly, all that would need doing is the panel preparation, priming and painting in Frozen White.

Got a chap at work who might do it for me, but not too sure how much a professional bodyshop would charge!

thanks in advance

Why do you want to do it mate? I thought you were looking to move up?

A proper garage full respray has surely got to be 1500-2k probably more!

i paid Ł1200 for an all new panel stripped rolling shell spray. same colour. prep and paint. that was 10 years ago now so not relevent in any way but i thought id say anyway.

Cheers for the input guys, decided to hang on to this for a couple more years, getting married next year so decided I couldn't justify spunking 10k away on a new motor.

I have been quoted Ł800ish including paint, but I can get it at cost price, so I will get it. Thats an on the side price though, to be done occasional evenings and the weekends, been told 3 weeks at the most! Don't use the car much anyway so I can live without!

Lol yeah thought about that! Its Nolan that said he would do it for me, do you know him? He's just completed an MX5 that Blue Eyes totally cocked up, needed to be stripped back to metal and redone, looks awesome now

Rich for Ł800 at a proper outfit you won't get half your car done for that......i'd bite his arm off and get it done if that's all he wants! Will look cool in white too i reckon

RichieST

Yeah should look alright!! Just fancy something different, get fucked off with chasing the swirl marks on the black

rstdave

Yeah black's a complete cock for swirlmarks and marks in general lol.....white's a lot easier to manage though it will never gleam like a freshly polished black one haha

You could pay anything from Ł500 to Ł5000 or more.

I paid 1500 quid to have my saph painted in Frozen White including all the door shuts and that was with me srtipping and rebuilding it myself.

Looking back, I should've just gone to B&Q and bought a boat load of Dulux emulsion and done it myself .

Choose your bodyshop carefully!

The whole car ideally needs to be done again really.
