Respray??????????

[alfys SR]

hey guys

im looking to have my SR resprayed in the summer. i want it all done in original vauxhall breeze blue. any ideas on how much i will be lookin at to have a proper job done by a body shop? estimates would be helpful as i need to start savin i think.

cheers

all body shops are different so if i were you i would call all the body shop in your area and get quotes for your self. I had mine done befor emy dad gave me it or my birthday and it cost ?250 when i had my kit fitted and sprayed i asked how much for the full car and they said ?1200!!!! :o

i know of a garage near me in cov that will do a full respray for around ?500 notes !!!

they do a bloody good job aswell !!!

depends wot ur lookin for and whos doin it, u can have it done cheaper if u do all the preperation urself, depends on if ur takin windows out etc or whether u just want em masked off, n if u just wot a blow over or the full on job.
for a full on job includin prep work and removal of bits its around a 1000 for a decent job. :roll:

the body work isnt in too bad condition, just a little surface rust on the rear arches. im not looking for a full blown job with windows out and everything. just want a blow over as my car is already breeze blue. the problem is that if i just try and get the rear panels sprayed the car will look stupid because the colour on the car has faded to a lighter blue.

so in what region am i looking for just a blow over with full prep?how long would they need the car for?

id say around 500 i payed 600 for mine in standard vauxhall black they did the paint prep but i took all the windows etc out. depends how many cars theyve already gotta do mine took just short of a week but they were doin others.

if your taking it top a spray shop prepare it first yourself it will work out cheaper because of less man hours

[alfys SR]

what would that intale? i only need the outside sprayed so would i need to sand down the whole car?
how long would this take me? is there any way which is best to go about doin it?

[novaexplod]

probably take a fair while by hand, if ur confident u cud always use a power sander lol :lol: :twisted:

the key to a good paint job is in the preperation!

prep work is best left to the pro's! , only things u can do urself are remove all the glass and trim etc, might save u a few quid!, end of the day u get what u pay for!, i can get mine fully resprayed for 300quid, but thats coz iv known the bloke for years lol :P

yeah that's about it but if you wanna save money you gotta do it
