Can anyone tell me how much a complete, change colour, re-spray would cost on a Cerbera?

Thanks
Cad

It will depend on what paint you go for. Metallic or some other such fancy paint will cost you a lot more than standard stuff - the difference can be quite staggering

Any colour really. I'm asking bacause the hunt for a Cerbera in a colour scheme I like is proving rather elusive.
So I may just go for a Cerb of ANY colour and then get it re-sprayed. As long as the interior will go with either black or silver, which are the two colours I'd go for.
I assume silver is going to be more expensive, being metallic.

Thanks for the replies chaps.

A full-front, door-to-door respray in Moonraker Black cost 800 squid from David Gerald (near Worcester) and it is, of course, THE fastest colour !

Depends if you are talking about paint or light

The big question should be, is white a colour?

Have you asked Ed (Eddie 4.2 pistonheads name I think) for a quote as he has his own spray shop somehwere in London, so you never know he might make you an offer, he recently resprayed his (old) cerbie candy oranage and superb it looked too.

I used TVR Bodyshop for a full respray without a colour change and was very happy with the result. Give Jason a ring and I'm sure he will be happy to give you a price - mine included a headlight conversion so it's not comparable.

Touché Keef, Black, if I remember corectly, is, in fact, defined as 'a shade' not a colour
Monnraker Black, however, is the colour of the Universe which, by definition, cantains all the best colours in God's own palate

Dont sound too bad... Hope the quality was as neat as mine...

Had 5 panels covered on smart repair for 2 wings, both bumpers and nasty scratch on my drivers door. With my front curb side alloy repaired as well it came in at £450 at the car refurb centre, worcester...

Worth th saving IMO as its a better finish than my original respray.... I should have asked for a full spray tbh...

What can you expect with a white car! grrrrrrrrrrrr

Is this a white Cerbera? There are only 3 or 4 of them, which one do you own?
