The paint shop I've used in the past works on a rough cost of £100/panel.

This would roughly work out about £1k for the full car.

You need to find a trustworthy shop dude, try to find people who have had work done by the painter and have a look at the work.

Word of warning for you, keep some cash in reserve for unexpected problems. I have recently found the respray on my cabriolet (done by a previous owner ) is a pro bodge job!  :dontknow:

I've found a fair amount of hidden corrosion on the rear wheel arch (along with a sever rust in the inner arch area)

I can recomend trying to strip the car at home to save cash. If you have a clipper you need to very careful removing the clipper kit as some of the fixings are deleted from VW parts.

Hope it works out for you dude.

Projekt Frustration :

 White 1991 Clipper. Lowered over polished zender rims, Single 40 dellorto on lynx manifold, kent cam, full stainless 'zorst / manifold, powerflex bushed and braced. Not the fastest car, but sounds super nice!

Still going after 12 years… never said it was a quick fix! Time is not my friend.
