Respray?

How much would a full outter respray be do you think, ive had a quote that was like 1200 or somthin!

Seems dear to me, what do you lot think?

I was thinkin itd be about 500-600???

You get what you pay for ....

i got a quote for ?500 to cover my driver, and the guy that does my families work (had 4 cars done by him in the past) does an amazing job, but ?1200 is way overpriced.. but like Cero says, pay more, get more

X

if you buy the paint ,and il do it for ?600







im not a spray shop but i love my VWs, so lots of care will go into it

the receipt for my respray was over 2600…but that did include cuttin out the rot and all the prep work

thankfully the previous owner paid

if you prep the car yourself it will save you quite a few quid

Foxy that looks like an amazin' job.

Id deffinately consider it, ill look into the price of some paint etc. and ill get back to you at a later date.

?1200 would be an average price round are things really that much mor down here?!? :dontknow:

get foxy to do it seen them wings they are mint

I have just paid 1800 for a full respray. You may think that sounds expensive but it's a bargain when you see all the prep work that goes into it. You only get a quality finish if you spend time doing good prep work, this takes time and time costs money. I would be very wary of a spray job that costs less than a grand but on the other hand you can pay upwards of 3 grand and get a shoddy job so its like with anything, buyer beware. Make sure you see plenty of examples of the sprayers work before you hand over your pride and joy. Foxys paint job looks great though and that is a great price too.

Foxy where are you located? I've already got the Mars Red paint…  The car is in pretty good condition… A bit of smoothing would be nessassary though..

he's oop norf. Oldham, going by his location under his avatar

Arron I sent you a PM of the number of the guy that has not only done my golf but the wife had a bump in the A4 and he did that and also the daughters Polo has had his attention with very very good results at the right price give him a bell.

if anyone else needs his number PM i will show you pics of the job he did on the Golf, A4 and Polo he's based on a farm between Bolton and Blackburn.

Cant you just get him out of retirement then???

What for?  :dontknow:

do you mean when I wanted mine doing?

If so, I asked him. But he doesnt have an oven or workspace or anything.
He asked a mate of his if he could use his oven at a garage but couldnt.

I also asked him if he could do it outside somewhere but wasnt keen on that either, 'being illegal'.
