How much should spray job cost?

[fix]

Hi I've got a Nova that's currently in primer and needs sprayin, any1 any ideas on how much roughly it should cost for gettin the car blown over then laquered? also how much paint I'll need an how many coats of paint is best, thanks!

How old is the primer, what type of primer is it, does it need flatting or any other work doing, what colour do you want and do you want 2-pack? Oh, do you want a good job because you are keeping it or an acceptable one because you are selling it?

The primers been on a few months now an I don't know what type,it does need abit of scimming doing but hopefullya m8 can do that. I'm wantin it gloss black with lacquer.A m8 said he didn't think I could use 2 pack because of the primer but I would prefer to.An yer I want a good job really, not silly money tho

Good respray, from £1k... the price goes up proportionately with the amount of work the sprayer has to do to get the primer right.

If you just want someone to blow over your primer, regardless of whether it's good or not, then you'll be lucky to get one to guarantee the finish.

If the primer has been on for several months I would want to take it off and start again. That way you can use 2 pack. You don't need laquer if it is solid black that you are having. As Evil said, you are looking at around £1K give or take, but it will also depend on whether it needs doing inside and out or just the outside.

lol my god I can't afford that! it only needs sprayin outside an I was lookin at about 400 quid I'm gonn hav 2 get a cheap job done somehow

[mattcoupturbo]

problem with that though mate, as tempting as it may be, you get what you pay for in that area so £400 will get it done mybe but it will be poo, unless you happen to know someone good who will do it cheap.

my spray cost about £280 in "parts" (primer, paint, hardener, and all required shizzle)

the finish is ok, well i dont care its gonna be tracked. but ive never sprayed before, got the hang of it and tis fine as far as i care lol

[brymanastra]
