Craigie460 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hey, Looking for a reputable bodyshop to respray my renaissance red supra. Been advised it needs a full respray but I'm not sure. So far I've had a quote £1800 and 2 weeks. And £5000 in 8 weeks. Preferable east coast of Scotland. Decent place to take it to for a good honest quote. Looking to get done in the Spring time. Any suggestions? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The bodyshop i use is great, they are currently doing their 3rd member car on here so getting to know supra's well. They are in Sheffield though, a little further than you're looking for. Perhaps try Alex_GT on here, hes in Aberdeen and had his painted recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoupe46 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hope you find a good one! The body shop I used is a pisstake. £5000 for a full respray in pearl white, custom rear arches and underseal. Taken them 8 months. The finish is a bit shit for that price. Not all panels match, and the pearl hasn't sat right on the rear quarters, and it looks like spikes underneath the paint in 2 areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigie460 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Cheers Ric, that's a bit of a drive for me but exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. Someone with Supra experience and a good rep. Bluecoupe46, doesn't sound like you've had a great experience. That's a lot of money to pay for a not so good finish. This is the worry I have, takes a lot of trust giving someone your pride and joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novak Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would be worried with a job for £1800 it does not mean £5k will be good I did my respray three weeks ago but on the continent due to prices for decent shops, my good old friend did it for me - old league repray done by guys in their 50s hehe - full attantion to detail, spray cabin , STANDOX german paint used, full respray with windows out, all cavities done at the same time, clear coat applied twice for extra deep gloss on black colour - £2.5k it took him two and a half weeks. Very pleased with the job. I would say definitely do your research as it might end up as a total disaster, all body shops give 6 months warranty on paint but even totally fucked paint will look good for 6 months, this is my second repray in 3 years as first job was bad after 2 years paint started to look crap.
