how much would a respray of the car cost on adverage??? i just want to get rid of stone chips, a lighter bumper silver and just a nice spay to make everything a better looking black, maroon and silver.

I looked into this a few months back, i was quoted $2500-$3000 for a 2pak job. That included rust cut out/repaired (front and rear windows), new front bumper (non genuine), whole car color coded and also the mirrors, windscreen black side panels and plastic bit between tail lights painted 2pak black. Also straighten out some front panel damage from a previous dodgy repair effort. I was going to go ahead, but decided i would like a holiday in europe instead . I decided to get a new bumper painted and fitted, and i also got the car detailed by a pro ($250), and it came back looking like brand new, got rid of a heap of chips and scratches which you cant even tell existed. I just give the car a full polish and wax with Meguiars every 3-4 months to keep the paint in good nick Hope that helps. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats a pretty good price for all that work being done! Were you getting the same Colour again or were you planning a Colour Change?

Well i thought on changing the car to black. but that would have cost between $5500 - $7000 that was way out of my budget.

The best bet would be to goto places where get qoutes best way really and then you will find out.. It also depends where you go some places do charge the earth but do a good job some do **** jobs.... if you know someone that can spary get them to do your car might be even cheaper..

Acrylic Paint - No rust removal / Basic prep / straight over paint / same colour : $800 - $1500 2 Pack Paint - No rust removal / Basic Prep / straight over paint / same colour: $1500 - $2000 2 Pack Paint - Rust Removal / Intermediate Prep / over prep'd paint / same color: $1900 (assuming you have little rust and straight body) 2 Pack Paint - Rust Removal / Full bare metal / New base Primer / Primer / same of diff color $3000 - $3500 2 Pack Paint - Full Strip / Bare metal / New Seals / Windows / same of diff colour $5000 - $7000 Pearl or Harliquin Paint - Pfft...Get a quote Mettalic Colour ad $300 to price ...Just a ruff idea based on quotes i've gotten over the years

Just wondering has prices changed much for a complete respray??

For a good/show quality full respray top to bottom in a gloss or metallic colour it'll be around $7,000 (but it depends on what workshop you go to and who you know)

can any one recommend a shop in Adelaide and prices for basic respray

do it once do it right dont do backyard job it might seem u saving a bit but after a year it probably fall off Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Someone has dug up this thread mate, those quotes were 8 years ago.

ah crap just checked the date lol

Just to go a level deeper, how much would paint alone cost, how much would you need for a respray, same colour.

so whats the going rate theses days a closed door respray in same colour

There was a company in melbourne doing closed doors for $2,000. I'd say $2,000 is about the right money for same colour closed door (prices would go up from there)

At the end of the day a re spray is only worth what the customer is willing to pay. When you start adding the costs of material, parts, labour and all the rest of it it gets pricey But just like with everything else in life you get what you pay for. Average paint depending on body 2.5 - 3k Show quality 15k + with ease!
