What is the cost of a respray these days ??
hi all just deciding what to do with my car at the moment.
anyone have a rough idea of how much a full respray is now days ?
i'm planning on a colour change from the red 559 thats on it at the moment to perhaps white or satin black.

Could you not flock the whole outside red???
Its a massive job to do the whole car a different colour. You would need the whole car stripped surely? Could you not just buy a red one?

i did think of that but it would look crap, i have however flocked my new inlet manifold that will be going on shortly and i'm considering the intercooler pipes at the moment. i want to test how durable it is.
stripping the car does not really bother me although, i am also debating getting a 2 door shell and having it sprayed then swapping my car into it.

Changing the clour is fine although you will always be able to tell unless you strip it to bare metal and that will cost £££££££'s
Is it really worth it?

Mervil your car look stunning
like you I'm not so bothered about the engine bay, just have it in my head I want a White one.
Did think of getting a 2 door shell and transfering everything across although mine has an electric roof as well as aircon so will probably end up keeping that.

if it was me i would strip all the interior out fit a roll cage, perspex windows, leaving your buddy club spoiler on with a carbon vinyl wrap on the roof bonnet and tailgate, and satin black everywhere else. maybe with a time attack kit and rear diffuser and front numper canards etc. my flocking is good cheers pal

A 2 door project would look very cool

You'd be anything from £3-7k up here for a full colour change through the books.
I just got a full respray including sorting my wheels for £1250 and it's a good finish. Not through the books tho.

I've been quoted £800 (maybes less, depending on paint) to have my 230 white Classic resprayed a better white colour, not including shuts etc.
Which white is the whitest white, you reckon?... and yes, my mummy does use NEW bold 2-in-1
