rg500 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Does anyone know anywhere in the Great Yarmouth, Norfolk area who is trustworthy to take my car for a respray without being ripped off as soon as they see a supra they think your loaded and feel they can hike the price I took it to one place in my area and straight away without looking round it £4500 +vat, there is no rust on the car no dents just tired paint, I know it is a lot of car to paint but £4500 +vat seems a bit excessive.

raddys Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Imo if its a full glass out respray then 4.5k is on the cheaper end of the scale, average I've heard of people paying is 5-10k for a respray, much more then it used to be 15 years ago when you could get a proper respray for 3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Don't forget that it costs a grand and some change for new seals and trims which you might well do as most cars that need a repaint also have knackered seals. Very easy to spent 5K these days on paint and other shit if you want to do it properly.

Dnk Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Imo no point in doing it unless its a glass out followed by new seals job Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) 4500 is a good price and about what i paid over 6 years ago, so if price increases are anything to go by. It's a good price.

Dnk Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Was the quote you had for a windows out job ? Personally wouldn’t go anywhere that doesn’t look at the car properly and discuss the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraleeturbo Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 4500plus vat is a good price tbh your taking about 1500 in labour just to pull it apart and put back together and probably another 250 on top to pull glass out and put back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I know a guy who's painted a mates 106 rallye before for under 1k, but he masked the rubbers, cardboard box against the wheels and sprayed it outside in the yard when it was windy and cold, you could see the rallye blue coming through the new red paint, there was flys and fluff stuck in the paint and it lost its shine after a month. You get what you pay for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I've sprayed large sections of cars for a £100 in paint and thinners and one I did over 7 years ago still looks I'm really happy with that, good. So £1k for some flies and translucent paint is by any standard a pretty poor effort. I'd suggest its either a do it yourself with a stash of rattle cans or pay for a proper job which is going to cost. I'm kind of in between; OK sprayer with guns, a decent high volume compressor and a large indoor area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rg500 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 I certainly agree that the labour is at a cost but if it costs £1500 for labour and the cost of a re spray is £4500 that means by my math they are charging £3000 to £4000 for paint I don’t really want to take out a second mortgage to just get my car painted.

Ric Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) If it's a full respray you're asking what, 3 to 4 weeks work for 2 people. thats only worth 1500 to you? The 1500 figure about was just for dismantling and rebuild. not all the prep and paint, polishing etc think you're dreaming personally.
