squanchy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I just got a full external respray of my car, and that was £1500. But that was mate's rates. The paint alone cost £400. I think you'd be looking at at least £2000 at a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 just do the panels you need doing, front bumper wings and bonnet, and get it done some where with a good reputation, you dont want to have to deal with having to go back for rework, or arguing the toss with a company on if they did or did not do a good job. the place near me is very good, and can sort a courtesy car as well, they are BMW approved, accredited and winner several times over for the best bodyshop award. the work always matches and comes with a good gaurentee, either i think its 10 years, but it could be a lifetime gaurentee i'm not sure. they did all the bodykit work on my old zed, and also they helped with the XKR as well. if you want i can give them a buzz and get a rough estimate for what you want. you'd still need to take the car to them for a more accurate quote.

Aikido2856 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 A mate of myn works in a body shop and he normally charges 120-140 a panel and does a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Where's 'do it nice or do it twice'? It would actually make sense to say that on this thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebags Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have been quoted £350 for bumper,bonnet and wings. This is a place in Maidenhead, thought it was too cheap but they had a few expensive cars in there including 3 Ferraris. If you are local to that I can get you there contact details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Speak to Chris mate, my veilside and custom rear are down there now,actually they just asked for paintcode lol Problem there is that depending on the colour & where the car has spent most of its life, the paint on the car will not match that paint code any more. Its amazing how much paint can fade, especially stuff like red & blues. The place I usually use will match the paint exactly to the paint on the car, but even then its pretty hard to do. Depending on the condition of the paint on the car, sometimes you are just better off respraying the whole car rather than just do bumpers / bonnet / tailgate etc..

Deklan Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I got mine done last week, Was new font bumper, a wing, roof in black, Spoiler with black colours and red, splitter, boot and badges smoothed and that cost me £960 and i though that was quite reasonable, a full respray done to a high standard that will last is easily going to be 1500+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
