Full Respray Costs

Post by EwenCameron »

I was wondering how much approximately a full respray would be. I bought my Morris on Saturday am unsure as to what is the approx costs that I should pay. Would it be between £800-£1200?

Much will depend on the state you hand it to the body shop in, the more prep they have to do the higher the cost but reckon on at least a grand for an all over blow over. for a top job you will be closer to the 2 grand mark.

Yep - easy enough to do - just do one panel at a time. Obviously - the roof is the hardest part!

If you do have a go yourself, please observe all the health and safety requirements of the paint you use.

I am thinking that once I have done the rusty bits I will need to respray too. Is it right that all the old paint has to be removed to prevent reactions in the new paint? - ie back to bare metal all over!

For £200 that must be materials only if he is filling and priming as well, that sounds very much like a "mates rates" job, a favor as I can't imagine someone just charging £200 for days of work, prep and sanding etc. IS that for your bootlid or the whole car?

You don't need to go back to bare metal - but you do need to sand it all well and apply a good thick 'high build' primer to isolate the new paint from the old.

Yes that is a bargain, did you get it done? if so could you recommend? as i would like mine done. it just needs rubbing down a bit
and spraying no dents or rust. just want it all to be one colour as there are a few patches here and there.
