Another question while I'm in this forum, how much (roughly) would a respray for my Astra cost, inc. fixing small (I'm talking small, not as in someone kicked a panel in) dents and stuff.

I know no-one can give an exact amount, but I guess what I'm after is a minimum price I should be paying for a decent spray job?

I'd say £400-£500 for an outside tidy up,
all depends how fussy you are & how good the bodyshop is

**Mike007** · 31-01-2005 11:17

Yep, a cheap blowover would be £4-500 ish but if you want a proper job/colour change and the car bare-metalled, with decent paint then you will be looking at anywhere from £1000 upwards, probably nearer £1500-2000 for a very good job.

im saving up for a respray at moment cus i want a really good job done. iv got bit of rust in places and i want a whole different colour that will stand out

**BigbaRd** · 31-01-2005 15:48

pink with orange spots?

**Sam** · 31-01-2005 18:32

Well I want it resprayed in the same colour, which is a metallic burgundy red.

There's a couple of decent bodyshops near me

Full colour change on mid sized car like Astra is around £450 depending on prep work needed

Outside only respray in same colour is flat £220

**Mike007** · 31-01-2005 21:27

Personally I would never pay as little as that. I would want top quality paint, and for £220 you couldn't even get the materials.

all depends if you want to strip the lights, door handles mirrors etc off yourself and do you want to do any prepwork/filling?

**ksarkaria** · 31-01-2005 21:47

i paid £1600 for a full prep, re prime, block, rust remove in places and two-tone colour change with special holographic coat that cost £300 alone, well good job i reckon, theres pics around somewhere

**Mike007** · 31-01-2005 21:51

I should add that I'm a bit of a perfectionist because I used to formulate car paint, so I know the difference between the good stuff and the not so good stuff, and I can spot a not so great finish as well.

I don't really have the time or inclination to do that stuff to be honest, would rather just pay a bodyshop to do the whole job for me, from start to finish.
