Whats a respray go for nowadays?
Discussion
My mates body shop take around 1800 for a full colour change but that also depends on what colour or paint is used. And just because it is cheaper than some of the big names does not mean it will be crap do your home work first of all and get a look of cars that are currently being worked on to see the level of finish is all i am saying.

.not sure wether to leave it for a while or just get it done now.I run a body shop in Kent. We charge £800 for a front end repaint plus Vat plus paint. This is the same for a cerebra through to a griff.
Repaint is dependent on condition of the car. Ie if there are cracks in the gel coat this takes more work than removing stone chips. Normally a repaint is between 3k-5k depending if door shuts inside engine bay boot shut are to be done.
You do get what you pay for with repaints. We only use spies hecker paint. £250 per gallon not cheap upol for £45 per gallon.
Make sure you use some one who knows about fibreglass. Repair processes are different. Don't let any one tell you it's the same as working on metal cars because it's not!
Hope this helps

It has quite a few road chips in the front, a dirty great big crack in the rear bumper mould where I reversed her in the corner of a wall and a long, deep scratch on the passenger's door skirt where I scrunched her going round a corner in a public garage.
I want the headlight pod bezel filled in and covered as well.
Can you give me an approximate quote ?
( I live in Luxembourg so it's not so easy to pop over for a visual quote )

Agree with this, we had a panel done last year at a local independent spray shop. Before doing this, he was previously a safari tour guide in South Africa. Undeterred, we looked at his current jobs and were impressed so took him on. He did a great job! Edited by scotty_d on Thursday 16th August 19:26
