Hi guys my first post so be gentle lol... question my wife has asked me to ask you guys , she has asked me how much would it cost roughly to spray her beetle from one colour to another ? thanks.

Done well you won't see any change from £2,000 as a starting point.

/avoiding smutty comment about the colour of her beetle bonnet/

Is this a classic one, or a new shape one?

Like anything, a cheap job can be done, it all depends on whether you want windows out, engine out, proper job, and how much the car is worth before the work starts.

If a new shape one, it may be cheaper to sell it and buy one in the colour she wants (assuming not pink or similar).

Do yourself, and the car, a favour and tell her it'll cost ten grand

Spraying it pink?

£2k for a respray, £2k in depreciation

PINK - you ought to be able to get it wrapped for half that and you can always remove it when you come to sell

£2k for a respray, the humiliation....priceless.

As said, wrap it.

Easily half the price.

What about having a wrap. It will cost around £1k IIRC and when she comes to sell it she can take the wrap off and still have the original colour underneath.

Wife asked me to ask you....??? Why doesn't she join herself and ask us? We promise to be gentle.

The answer to your question is to get it Vynal Wrapped and it could be Pink with Yellow spots with a Vynal wrap or Zebra print the options are endless.

Wrap is defo the best solution - cheaper, protects the paint, and doesnt fk up the resale value of the car.

Still not sure if old or new, but here are 4, either to buy, or to demonstrate the chronic effect on resale vaue.
