TT-DEK Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just had a quote for a re-spray, only what i thought an over spray. Turns out its got different spray on a couple of panels? £3.5k to be sure, and he can only fit me in AUG. When i saw the cars in the body shop Ferrari, rols royce, merc, i new it was going to be bad news:eyebrows: Anyone got any thoughts or more competetive places. Some may say,you get what you pay for!! hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yeh, i heard this also. Im not wanting to change colour, just freshen the black up, with what i called an overspray, 3.5k i thought was a little steep, but i may be wrong.

Jake Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 What difference does it make if it's currently slightly different shades in places? The price and "can't do it till Aug" makes me think the guy just didn't want the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 GVN can fit you in.. In a much more timely manner.. And I think if its just a couple of pannels that need doing you would be looking at no more than £1000... Unless you want a complete job and that will set you back 1.5 - 2 at as long as no bodywork is needed.. Give them a ring 0208 994 1111 just tell them chris told you to ring and they will look after you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flat4_ire Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 you get what you pay for..cheap is cheap for a reason, but that place u went to does sound like the west coast customs buzz and would cost u a fortune just for the name..

jamesmark Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 you get what you pay for..cheap is cheap for a reason, but that place u went to does sound like the west coast customs buzz and would cost u a fortune just for the name.. cheap is cheap for a reason is not always the case, there are some people that are genuinely cheap, i went to a recomended one, family owned and he is cheap but for a reason, he can afford to be! as word of mouth has made him really busy so has always got jobs in the diary so adopts the attitude "make enough to have a comfortable lifestyle and charge enough to keep people coming back" the same applied to the mechanic that i use, he comes recommended on here and he only charges £25 an hour no matter what he does and he is the same, he is that cheap and does a good job that he has a 2 week waiting list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 PRESTON, Lancs, Envy will do it considerably cheaper than that. Mine's there at the mo:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 A lot of body shops charge more if you have a deadline... Mine is what the body shop called a 'Hospital Job' they are doing it when they are quiet.. And they nocked off over 1k from the price.. Sure its a pain but, will be a top job when done..

toyotasuprauk Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 £3.5K for a same colour respray lol! I would have found it hard not to laugh at that. Let me think shall I buy a new supra or get this one resprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 We have done a few for people on here, most was £1700 with quite a bit of damage, lowest was £900 for mask up only no panels off. All our proper jobs are panels off. Ask anyone who has had work done here, its a top quality job with top quality paint and lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
