Hi all, has anyone had a full body respray recently? I would love to give my Black Betty (Bam ba Lam) (is that a little sad? ) a full respray but wanted to know how many pennies im going to have to put aside. thanks in advance all.
Had a quote for one recently: £2k - £2.5k for a quality job.
Ck.
Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...
Does it need a respray or could it be detailed? What is wrong with finish?
Cheers,
Steve.

The whole car is patchy, been well looked after but it is 20 year old paint so; the bumper is scuffed on the corners, very minor. very small stone chips and generally looking old. the bonnet has 2 2p size bubbles that have cracked and im sure will grow with time, around the drivers door handle the paint work as been DIY'd so looks a bit tatty close up. and in general there small scratches everywhere, some bigger ones on the roof. from afar it looks lovely, close up it looks 20 years old!
If the paint/laquer is broken, then yes it is respray time unfortunately....

You could get a budget job for about 1K / 1.5K.
Or a fairly high standard one for about 2k / 3K.
Or to do a top level factory standard it going to be 4K+.

I am interested in this as it is something I was thinking about for next year.
I thought that we had a decent sprayer on the forum but I cannot remember who it is
