SPADGE

I have been offered a proper 3 door shell but its been sat for a while and needs a little tlc and paint.
How much does a complete re-spray cost nowadays in white roughly? 1k?? 1.5k???

Ryan

depends mate.

As in everything, depends how much works involved and what type of a finish you want.

A good spray job and an proper one are worlds apart

POPEYE

if its a stripped shell id say about 1k or under jules
i gave 1.5k cash deal for a drive in drive out on mine

SPADGE

Ryan i want a propper job and would expect that regarless of what i'm quoted! I understand it depends on the amount of prep work required but i would probably do most of that so it would be minimal

brad

i get full resprays , perfection and i do mean perfection for around Ł800

POPEYE

opps

SPADGE

It would be a rolling shell mate and i would want a closures etc..done but would remove the kit etc...and re-fit it all myself!

SPADGE

edited it out jules
but im sure ian posted the price himself

POPEYE

yeah mine has windows out,all closures done and under bonnet apart for the engine bay itself,body kit removed and refitted
not the best by far,but more than happy with it

Ian3dr

As per Popeye mate, all shuts, doors/tailgate/bonnet/kit off and refitted, about 2.2k.

Ryan

well mines having a little more than most done so it doesnt matter what im paying



I.e Inside, Outside, Underneath & Bay

POPEYE

pmsl,see

Ian3dr

SPADGE

I'm not paying 2.2k Ian fook that
I'm sure i can get a propper job done for half of that but we'll see
Ryan i'll be wanting the bay painted also but not inside or underneath as i'm not a bufty like you and Ian

Ryan

lol

im not a bufty, but i thought i might aswell do it while its there.

Would be a shame to put all my bling bits onto a grotty shell

SPADGE

what the fook are you doing man
Stay off the sherry

Ian3dr

I got quoted from other places as low as Ł1100, but then I saw their work!

I knew Mark the painter anyway, and wanted a top job, with a fairly quick turnaround. 9 days and it was back home

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

wont pay for a decent paint job but pay silly cash for a beantin

SPADGE

Now what was it Raj was saying

POPEYE

fpmsl,i thought you was saying i shouldnt have posted what ian payed

lol@sherry,,,how did you know

SPADGE

You get me wrong mate! I will pay for a decent spray job but that will be less than other mugs throw away As for the bean tin i will get every penny back in bits and allowing a decent amount for this spot-on big spec engine i have sat here

SPADGE

Lol no you fool

POPEYE

i aint got no more to say


well after from it aint strawberry blonde its ginger

Ian3dr

Found these, the day I picked it up. Its on original wheels! That was some time ago! Winter 2002 I think

Ian3dr

Ryan

awesome ian!

cant wait for mine to be done

SPADGE

Fook me two engines ago

SPADGE

I think knowing the speed you do things Ryan that you may have to

Ian3dr

Fook me, one dead 350 engine, one dead 400 engine, another 400 engine, another full bare shell strip down, Diff, brakes........... I gotta stop!

Ryan

shall be sprayed very soon spadger actually.

Just sorting out my final kit bits

I.e new front bumper etc etc

Ian3dr

This is a proper paint job!





Strip the fooker!

SPADGE

Whats that saying Ian Horse,gate,bolted,shut or something

Ryan i bet mine is on the road before yours and i havn't even bought the shell yet

Ryan

i bet it is aswell spadge.

But 1, am i bothered?
2, is any one else bothered?
3.



oh 4. I'll be happy with mine though

Ian3dr

Something like that

Ian3dr

Ryan, any pics of yours?

SPADGE

I still have the white over spray on my engine hoist after you used it to paint the underside Ian best get your bufty rags out next time your over here

Ryan

nothing worth looking at mate.

Its in the resto forum.

SPADGE

Lol now how long did you have your last Cossie for

Ryan

i never wanted that though

it was a stop gap, bit like you bean tin



so in a way both ours ended up the same way, but for different reasons

SPADGE

Yep i guess you have a point
