Does a different colour cost more?

[davidf]

I want to respray my 350i wedge, but if I just touch it up will it be cheaper than changing to a different colour (yellow from dark blue)?.
Can anybody recommend a good place in London to have the work done? Any previous price/experiences would be interesting.

I dunno much about TreVoR's but on conventional steel cars a colour change done properly is a heck of alot more work, If done properly Id expect £1-2K or more extra as they will have to take engine out to do a proper job & the interior will be fiddly.

I painted my TR and making it look right was a very big job. I painted the entire car - inside and out, engine bay and boot.

NEVER AGAIN!

Just get the vehicle repainted in 2 pack paint and be very particular about masking everything well. You can have a cheap job done using nasty paint but I'd spend the extra and do the job properly.
