Hello,
I recently obtained a VW Up! and am curious as to how much it would cost for a respray into Harlekin colours, i've always had a thing for the Polo Harlekins, i love them because they are so ridiculously stupid and unique, same thing would apply to an Up!, no-one else is going to have a VW Up! in Harlekin Colours, it's completly illogical but in my mind and Up!'s personality mixed with the Harlekin would be perfect.
Thanks,
Zdos123
p.s. this isn't soon probably next couple years and if i resprayed it i'd be keeping it for a very long time.

Might be best to contact a few local bodyshops and ask them for quotes, or perhaps search various other forums and see if anyone has done that before (on any model, not just an Up). If you're searching, it's "Harlequin" as far as I am aware.

Really? You learn something new every day. Glad I phrased my original comment as I did.

Genius. You’re going to go far, I can tell.

£3000+VAT assuming no more than very minor dent/ding repair work for me.

Probably obvious but Harlekin is the German word for harlequin.

What colour is the car now? Looking at the Golf and Polo Harlequins, they had a red shell. If you have a car with an appropriate colour to start with, it will make things a lot easier as the rest will just be removable panels. Either way, wrapping sounds like a good option for doing this. I think it will look pretty cool. Always liked these.

Just out of curiosity how much would the price change if the car was stripped for you ?

All panels off mirrors door handles bumpers etc.

Thanks
