Guess how much I'm gonna get priced for a respray

[richi]

Anyone want to take a guess? Got a pal coming up to have a look, nova is fully stripped out already primed and flat, but he may want to re sand so it's done to his standards. Any guesses?

[Kev Turbo]

Bag of sand / Grand

[Chay84]

2k

[Plug]

a mate? i wouldnt be expecting to pay much more than paint and a couple crates tbh,

[turbojolt]

12 franks two shillings and a hand shandy

[Kev Turbo]

We will see how much of a mate he is after he has quoted you ;)

[gazcorsa]

500 and he supplies paint

More like how long it takes or how good it is had mine done by friends took ages not happy in the end tbh

[richi]

Yep he is a friend, very good sprayer, seen his classic mg and it's a very good job, any more guesses?

[Scottcooper85]

800

[8valve-craig]

All depends how good of a job you want really, so make sure you tell him that first.

[dgbnova#1]

What color and mk1 2 you painting skirts spoiler etc

[millworm]

800-1500

[_Jake]

got qouted 1k for inside n out if i supply paint, so id be expecting under 1k..

[Southie]

It depends how good he really is, look at twags wip though. He paid a top price for a professional to do his and even his has become a disaster.

Mates rates are fine as long as you want to be still friends if it goes tits up IMO.

£500-£1000 would get you a decent job if your mate knows his stuff.

[mk1nova_rich]

You usually end up way down the priority list with mates too!!

[dgbnova#1]

Second that ^ mates rates = mates lates

[brainsnova]

£300 and you buy the consumables

[Mieran]

I wouldn't touch it if its been primed by someone else lol, they couldve made a mess of it which will make things much harder afterwards

This.

When i had mine painted by a place i used to work (mates rates) we did 10% of the prep and left he rest for them. £900 all in.

[rich a]

I reckon 1k and hope they r a good friend coz if it goes pear shaped you'll find out just how good a friend they r

[8valve-craig]

Deleted post, as Rich edited his.

What happened to the 7k retro power quote post?

[Alex J]

£100

[richi]

Well the price is in Scott you are the man, 800 to keep it white inc new rear arches as the old ones rust has started to show, a few dints that I didn't notice, skirts bonded and filled and some welding inthe engine bay, very happy with that

[brainsnova]

Oh I thought it was mates rates

[dgbnova#1]

That's fair I'd say

skirt bonding standard skirts ? Just get clips from vauxhall

[Scottcooper85]

That's a great price considering he's putting rear arches in too and also taking into account I've just been quoted £100 for a fuel tank painting.

[brainsnova]

What happens when you want to remove the front wings

[8valve-craig]

A good price considering he's doing the arches. Watch him though, as if he cuts corners there (no pun intended) the paintjob wont last in that area.

[richi]

He is a good lad he wouldn't botch it up, he was the one who pointed out the faults that would need fixing even the bad ones, and sorry when I ment sideskirts I ment the bit on the rear arch

[turbojolt]

I would be well chuffed with that price, try and get him to take photos as he goes along mate

Powder coated would be cheaper and better than that I'd think

[rich a]

I removed it Craig coz its not richi was asking but yep the quote was to prep a bare shell and paint 7k around 200 hours work The full quote was 11k plus Vat to strip ,blast, repair metal work prep shell paint resemble i kid u not

[Scottcooper85]

Powder coated would be cheaper and better than that I'd think

Its at the powder coaters now mate they quoted £40 but because it has soldered joints they daren't put it in the oven at 180'

[dgbnova#1]

Mine went in at 220o And was blasted first £40 all in

[Scottcooper85]

That's what I got quoted I might just take it somewhere else

[Novasport]

I have been quote £1200-1400 from the painter at work for a bare shell respray in and out. His work is superb though so I dont mind paying it.

Which car are you getting refurbed?

[Novasport]

That was for the Spider. Was going to start stripping it but Kate wants it on the road again this summer. Looks like it will have to wait for a bit.

[Vlietje]

+rep for Kate!!

[Southie]

+rep for Kate!!
Best bet, I agree ;)

[8valve-craig]

Off topic, but regarding the tank do not get it powder coated if it's a GSi one. The plastic surge tank inside May just melt.

Had mine blasted for £10 and painted for £20.

Yeah it is mate, it's brand new so shouldn't need blasting. Going to treat myself to a compressor and do it myself I think:-)

[turbojolt]

its only a fuel tank rattle can it ffs

[dgbnova#1]

Mine is was Gsi tank used gm it with plastic swirl pot it was fine at around 220

[8valve-craig]

Good to know, my coater didn't want to chance it, neither did I.

Saying that though my painter is next door, so it was no drama.

[Scottcooper85]

But then I wouldn't be able to convince myself I need a compressor to play with lol

[richi]

I would be well chuffed with that price, try and get him to take photos as he goes along mate
First thing I asked lol, I learnt a lot doing the prep work myself but he also said I could help him and he would show me how to do a few things

[Benn]

Most rattle can paint isn't long lasting tho. If you wanna do a proper job then you want it to last.

This.

Plus every man needs a compressor and air tools in his life. Don't cheap out on it though, you want at least 100L imo.
