suprasteve1979 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi all, finally got round to having my supra resprayed, it was suffering with a rusty front wing, rust around the rear window seals, chipped lacquer faded red paint in some areas and generally looking a bit tired close up. Spent a day and half removing all the parts bumper,boot, skirts, seals handles etc Its been awsy about 2 weeks at the body shop. Going back tomorrow to refit all the bits, will post some more pics when its done. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Anything from £1000 upwards depending on how good a job you want doing and how much trim etc you remove, windows out is the best way to go along with doors, bonnet, tailgate and bumpers removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Treated my 20 yr old UK spec Supra to a total body makeover including replacement of rusty wheel arches, needing new windscreen, seals, badges etc. Cost was £2900!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasteve1979 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Cheers Guys Very pleased with it, been down this afternoon putting lights mirrors seals and boot struts on, paranoid about scratching it but its gonna happen and did slightly when putting the back lights in. Should be done for tomorrow. As for cost I have got a rough idea of around the 2k mark but we kept finding more bits to do, I'll find out when I get the keys back.

suprasteve1979 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi all Supra back together now and found a sunny(ish) day to bring her out of hibernation for a clean. Respray came in at £2400inc vat and worth every penny. Not taxed yet, probably next month. Next on the list is a service, squeeky idle pulley and to sort the wheels.

listy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 My re spray cost me £2k a couple of years ago. Looks really good. Red when brand new, looks stunning. Did you get the (apparently new thing) UV resistant top coat applied? Not all places do it unless specifically requested apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Red is the new black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasteve1979 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks, didn't really want to change the colour of the car, not sure about the UV resistant, although I thought most clear laquers contained UV inhibitors.
