good cheap respray? thats an oxymoron. If u get a good paintjob it wont be cheap cheap paint job = $1,000 -$1,500 good paint job = $3,000 - $5,000 nice paint job = $10,000 I can reccomend a handfull of crash shops that will doo a good job, but you would be looking at 2g's and up.

i live in mount gambier sa. i will do a full colour change on a vl in 2pac for 1500 depending on body condition. that will be finished straight off the gun you can organise someone to buff it later if you think it is needed

Are you qualified or not? How many years experience? Ypu paint in a both or back yard? What brand of paint? Do u inc sanding and masking up? If you run it will you sand the run and buff it out? What if something goes wrong and there is alot of dirt or chemical reaction, will u fix it? Its that for solid colours or pearls or candys? Do you have any examples of your work? Do you remove parts of the car to paint?
