supersupra3 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Anyone had a back to metal respray recently. Due to micro blister from bad spray shop and several visits back to them have decided the only cue is full respray back to bare metal.Have had one quote so far of £6 to £7 thousand incl vat. Will get a few prices next week from other car restorers and good spray shops though.Any of you guys any thoughts on price or been down this route.

Scooter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You could try baldy on here I think he is down gatwick way, he's resprayed his own in the past and other members cars over the years. Your quote seems like the upper end, but it seems you generally get what you pay for paint wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Would it not work out cheaper for you to do the sanding back to metal yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersupra3 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 probably would but just do not have the time to spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 6-7k for full bare metal respray is a complete bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Have you considered stripping the car to a shell and having it dipped or soda blasted? Edited January 31, 2016 by mwilkinson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 6-7k for full bare metal respray is a complete bargain Was thinking exactly the same thing, the body shop I use would charge that or possibly a bit more just to do a respray on a supra let alone a bare metal one! That is a HUGE amount of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike33 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Here's a picture of my guy taking it back to bare metal and rubbing the join down as there was a tiny bump where the small window went!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a full wrap including shuts. £1500 max and would last 5 years plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
