    Default Approx respray, arches and sills cost.

    As per title I've bought a brand new bonnet and front wings, it needs both rear arches and although the sills are terrible I'd still like them done while its having that sort of work done. Looking for a rough price before I go getting quotes just so I know I'm not being knocked! Needs a full exterior respray and prep plus arches and sills. If anyone can recommend places that be great its in haze blue and I'm in Kent but will travel for a good job

    Pretty hard to put a price on these things, and it will vary wildly depending on who you get to do it. Some guy doing it in their spare time from their own place will be a whole lot cheaper than a professional big place that would probably rather be doing an easier repair job so will charge you a fortune. A spray job alone can be £500-£2k the more prep you can do yourself the better. Rear arches need to be done properly or they'll just rot out again, personally I'd recommend having a go yourself, welding is a useful skill as a Nova owner.

    I've heard of a few people paying 1.5-2k which I do kinda understand as I'm asking a lot of work to be done. Defo want a professional job as I'd like to take it to shows when its done.

    £1500-2k for all that. To get a good job.

    Yes I would budget 2 grand. Probably want a proper restoration place to get a good job on the arches and sills. Look where people take camper vans and the likes!

    I have budgeted around £3500 for my repair work (welding and some fabrication) and a full respray inside and out.

    That is excluding what I paid to get the shell soda blasted and epoxy primed and doing the underside myself.
