My '96 STI is suffering from 10 years' worth of paintwork neglect - the usual stone chips, swirl marks and oxidation. It also has a couple of holes in the front bumper where a splitter was fitted and a scuff from a speed bump.

I've been quoted around £200 to fill and respray the bumper, and around £250 for a full showroom valet including machine polish, but I wondered: is it worth getting these two jobs done separately, when it might make sense just to book the car into a body shop and have the whole thing resprayed?

Any idea what I might expect to pay for a full respray in the original colour (555 'sport' blue).

 

ScoobyClinic quoted me £2500 + vat for mine - 95H Deep Blue Mica. But in the end, Kev looked over my car and this was not the case, but just some touch ups and door dinks knocked out.

 

Hmmm... maybe just a polish after all then

 

My jdm sti v7 , 01 . full respray . £3,000 , A really nice job.

 

Was that done at scooby clinic alan?

Thinking about a respray too.

 

No Pulliyns body shop in York , Mint job.

 

Right o, maybe another one for the short list then.

 

makes my £1800 re-spray cheap but the sounds of that, mind you mines being done on the side

 

mine cost me £148


but then i did do it myself

 

you can do mine then ...I 'll give you double

 

You tight git lol i`ll give you double and a half!
