Hey guys,

My car is Galaxy Blue and im just wondering if anyone knows if $1000 or thereabouts would be enough to cover a same colour respray? I wouldnt need under bonnet/inside doors etc done because they are all fine, but there is alot of damage to the rest of the paintwork. Im not too sure what a respray like this would cost so if anyone has any ideas or experiences please let me know.

Cheers,
Brad

Try about $3000 to respray the whole car, thats probarly if you move/tape up most of the car yourself to.

You gotta be kidding me?! That isnt far off the price for a full respray! I know someone who got a new respray in a whole new colour for just under $2k.

i had both sides of the car (all doors and 1/4's) + boot lid resprayed for $800 not long ago after it was keyed, it was also about $600 to get my bonnet and roof panel beated and resprayed after a tree landed on it.
add to that, bumpers etc, i'd say you'd be able to get it done for $1500.

I paid $1600 to have bonnet, front guards, bumper and four doors painted to get rid of small chips etc

depends on two things
1. How much prep is required to get the car back to straight and smooth
2. Wether you get the good paints (2 pac and a few coats of clear) vs acrylic

2pac wouldn't come in under $1000 as you'd be looking at; as a minimium
1l of 2-pac primer+ reducer and hardener
2l of base coat
2l of clear
thats around $400/$500 depending on brand worth of paint... no consumables like , tape, sandpaper,filler, spray putty or labour etc

imo i wouldnt waste my time with anything less than 2 pac for a nice job but each to their own i guess

kooky

had the front half of my car resprayed galaxy blue 2 pac and materials alone was over $900 all up retail cost would have been over 2 grand.


Oh I paid with a slab of carlton!!!!

Debating whether to go all the way with the Falcon or just fix up the paint etc, pay it off and get an XR8.
