Respray

[Southenddc]

Hi all...

Im interested in a respray for my 86 S3 (calypso red) as the lacquer is coming off in some areas and the paints also going a little bit 'milky'. does anyone know how much this would cost as a rough figure or has anyone had one done at a place they would recomend bearing in mind i live in essex in the UK?

Cheers for the help

I used autotec in Milton Keynes for some paint work on my SE. They did a good job at a good price and know what they are doing with fibreglass. Call Gary on 01908 502638 or 07956 879697. He'll be happy to give you a quote if you take it down.

I have also had mine resprayed at a very good price up here in Merseyside.
Also you could try this link, where Steve Wright is having his car completely resprayed with progress pics.

I think he's somewhere down your neck of the woods but hopeless with places south of Birmingham.

Hope this helps.

I recommend prestige coachworks in Clacton on sea. They offer a firstclass service and have many years of experience with fibreglass cars. It sound like you have exactly the same problem as myself. As Dave said take a look at my site to see the progress. My car should be sprayed in the final colour over then next 3 days.

Steve...
Great website! huge thumbs up for all the great things you have done to the car. Have saved your site in my favourites

Brett all the best getting a good quote on your car. Resprays aren't cheap!

Thanks for the praise. If other Esprit owners find it useful or interesting then its worth while.

BTW Kylie, I've gone for Green/Amber Ecstasy flip over Metalic Green. Hard to explaine but take a look at the second colour page or the latest sprayshop pics posted today. If all goes well should have some better images of the whole car by Sunday. Its a little more unusual but not to 'in your face'.
