Hakan's VR6 Needs A respray !

[Hakan]

Like some are saying keep it the same colour, just give it a fresh over coat spend your time getting all the dents scratchs so on out.

Or if you have the time go a full colour change,Have you got a free garage space?
strip the hole car down doors off bonnett,boot,Glass,,,you get the drill.

It took me 5 weeks ? After work during weekends this was very casual, and around $1400 to do it myself.

Yeah ive got a double garage all to myself kicked my parents cars out
im not that experienced with prep & paint . ive contacted a few sprayers and they told me not to sand it or bogg it and said they would take care of that for about$1500-$2000 same colour.

wow pay them to do it then thats cheap!

(Asking experts here) How much would one expect to pay for a decent respray on a car the size of a pre 2000 Golf?

Depends greatly on how much body work and prep it needs, if theres rust etc it gets very expensive. I'm not an expert so cant give prices, but a full respray can easily be over 5k

Respray like ben said depending on the condition of your car $2000-$4000 thats if its just a respray, they shouldnt have to do inside the doors inside boot so on.

Its all about getting Quotes prices vary so much it crazy.

There's no 'set' price when it comes to resprays, as there are just so many variables. Somtimes it really is worth spending 1 or 2K more, to make sure its done by someone that will take the time and care and make sure the final product is 100% top notch. Alot of "smash repair" places wont be as interested in doing resprays as it's not the bulk of thier work. (generalisation)

As for colour, I think the windsor blue is a really cool colour (as you can see in bens pics). I think if you were to tweak the pearl and bring out that really light blue in the metallic it would look really cool. Having said that, a good painter should be able to look at it and 'jazz it up' appropriately.

Full colour change is too much work, well, alot of work!

LY3D Tornado Red. Simply classic

[Hakan]

Ive actual looked into that colour its nice but reds hard to look after since they fade under Australian sun which goes pink.
Red and my rims should look like this Just imagine its a golf

[Jarred]

Red shouldn't fade if you take care of it!

(which hopefully you would do, if you were going to fork out a few $$$ on new paint)
