I could quite easily see how paint could come to near £200 if done properly. If you count primer, paint and laquer to do a whole car you'll need loads.

£300 for a full respray sounds a bit too cheap imo

Especially if you use good quality paint and laquer, If it were me I'd want the best laquer possible.



I have a mate who got his corsa resprayed for a bargain £600, but it lasted about 6 months. :lol:

It cost me £300 just to smoothe off and paint the rear of my car, and thats with me doing some of the work. But the quality is top notch and would be a good enouth finish for a Ferrari. :D

I paid about £1200 for mine, they charged £4000 to respray a Gallardo from Grey to White and about the same for a Porsche.

The £1200 included them paying for my front panel from Honda for about £200. He is my cousin thats why, I told him how much im going to pay him 8)

Their work is second to none, I haven't seen better quality work myself anywhere else.

Apparently you can get this quality of work for £300 now Tahir :? I wonder what the Lambo and Ferrari boys are doing wasting their money going to your cousin when they could have the same quality work done for a fraction of the price? :roll:
