Hard to say...is it just the out side ?colour change? interior?engine bay?minor dents scuffs removed? will you pre prep,prime and mask? solid,flip,mica,met etc paint?
If its just a prep, mask and a fresh layer of solid colur 2k paint on the out side your looking at £300-£1000
Might be cheaper if you get a m8 to do it or you prep and pre mask but some peeps dont like you doing that..

i'm having a full exterior respray including gsi bodykit and them fitting the kit for just over a grand
also getting them to do extras like roof rails, door handles, mirrors etc

i'd highly recommend doing the prep work yourself, and get it towed to a bodyshop. the preparation is the most time consuming, so if you do it yourself, your cutting the costs dramatically.

not a good idea
if the finish is ****e then your preppin will be blamed, therefore no comeback
cant see many bodyshops agreeing to do that anyway (decent ones)
if your goin to prep it, spray it yourself
cheers. it will just be the exterior of the car in the solid flame red (or deeper red)
If the car is clean (no rust etc) then prep time shouldnt be much, but all paint jobs have around 80% of time spent on prep and only a small percentage laying the paint on the car, then its time to finish the job off and hopefully clean the car ready for the customer to take it away.
Thats how it should be done, and today you will pay alot for that. If you do take it to a bodyshop, go by what people say, most paint jobs dont turn out as good as they should do.
Or wait a few months and i should have access to a large booth in northampton for £200+ a weekend, + paint + labour.

ok, i got that one wrong, i'm planning on doing the prep work myself, and letting a mate do it for me. i certainly wouldn't recommend doing the prep yourself, and sending it to a bodyshop, as they will try and get away with anything they can - believe me, i know and experienced getting ripped off..
paul0 is your man, although he's in northants! top notch paint sprayer.
yeah init seem steep those prices
its just the flame red respray on the exterior. im getting a job at www.mwbodyshop.com so that will cut the costs i think by a lot
(bar the lacquer run!!!!)I still need to refinish that rob lol Next time your over we'll mask up that wing and give it a few coats of clear
mphowells, I suppose if its a close match you could get away without haven the engine bay painted. Most of the cash for full paint jobs go in labour taken your car apart, esp doors to do shuts etc.

Ah I see, so for a full re-spray does the price seem ok?
