That is my first thread and quite happy about it. New comer on the second hand car.... After seeing this ad, I have this question... how much does a repaint job cost ?

Which colour, maybe a wrap would be better.

I would charge around £2000 for a basic color change, which would include repairing any small dings, stone chips, and scuffs along the way, so the car would essentially be immaculate afterwards.

I say basic color change because you will still be left with a yellow engine bay and boot floor under the carpet etc. anything you would see in day to day use would be color changed including door shuts etc.

If you wanted a total color change then you can double it to a minimum of £4000 as the level of work increases exponentially (engine out etc).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this reply guys. (Sorry I did not get the notifications on my email.)

I would look at just the outside of it if I had to do something. This car is an example, I am more thinking of BMW 850 as they most of the time have colors that I do not like.

I cannot believe someone painted that car this color originally smile
