Costs could vary massively depending on prep required, paint used, exterior or interior as well. You could very easily be talking 4 figures.

How long is a piece of string?

As Ethel says it depends on what you want done exactly, and what condition the car is is.

Would need more info to give a ball park figure idea

My resprays start at £1000 for a prep, prime and blow over including materials.
Rust and dent repairs etc bump it up a bit

I'm about to pay £400 on the basis that I take the car there, strip out all the glass, lights etc.,
then my man will straighten the panels, doors etc., fill any dints and dents, sand, prep, prime and paint. I then rebuild it.
Feels about right to me as the paint is half the cost.

Best wishes
Monty


edit - just can't spell anymore...

This is an outside only spray for 1-3k right?
Inside is going to be more of course, as would (I assume) different coloured roof etc etc etc

A good respray can cost anything from £1000 upwards, depending on how much prep is needed, any welding needing doing, what sort of finish you want, do you want the inside doing,boot,engine bay ?? A basic colour, metallic,pearl,metal flake etc etc. Would normally spend at least a week just preping it.
