Resprays - What has everyone paid
Turbo Mini Forums

Im thinking of getting a respray as the last time it was done it was only cellulose (spelling?), and the dreaded rust is creeping back.

Just wondered how much people are paying for 2 pack spray jobs? Prepped or unprepped?

Cheers

Matt

£700 inside and out. no prep done by me. well all the rust was gone and it was all solid and generally filled, but certainly not ready for painting.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

That's very cheap. I paid £2000 for an outside and door gap only job on my golf.

700 isn't bad for the complete car, mine has just started rusting round the bottom of the front window and the front valance where the bumper mounts on, shouldn't take too much to do apart from a bit of flatting/scotching up.

Last time it was sprayed the lubricant spray used to put the windows back in reacted with the paint aswell, its anoyed me ever since it happend.

here on the island 900 is the going rate for prep and spray (outside only)

for a quick blow over (rally car) inside and out, driving it down one weekend and helping with the prep £200 plus materials which i thought was quite a good deal (dont mind pitching in)

But since i took him up on the offer, i havent heard a peep back from him! LOL

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I paid £1200 for my car when it was done. I took it down to bare metal and then he filled it and finished off my welding. Before the painting. Was a very good job but i failed to rustproof enough and its starting to come through again.

I paid £800 for mine including taking off the front end

Cost of the paint and prep materials here .... LOL

My misses has just booked her modern motor in to have a few bits blown in over scratches and the like and that's a ton ... I'd hate to get a quote for doing an in/out/roof/floor job!!!!!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

£1000 for inside and out with prep included. All welding up was already done though. It's gonna cost me £2.5-3k for a BIG car in two tone though through someone else (this guy is MUCH better and it is a bigger job).

£350 for full outside job, excluding sills and valences. All prep done by me.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

i was quoted £800 for a full car, all prep done by me

£1600 for full car including prep

I ended up doing it mysel for about £250. but that doesnt include the cost of masks, guns and a big enough compressor!

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

looks like the going rate is around 1000 then including preping and a few hundred without!

Thanks, it least that gives my a rough figure, as some people you ask just take the piss.

they all sound cheap to me.

you get what you pay for and depends on the work required.

mine would be atleat £2000 as it all needs replacing, lol

well im good friends with a father/son bodywork company.
i think if i (my dad) did the welding and do the prep work they would do it fairly cheap as iv helped them out in the past with bits and bobs, i also got chris the son the turbo metro for a bargin price...

it depends on what work your going to do your self and weather you know them or not etc.


cheers

matty, there is a firm up in newcastle they would do 700 inside and out (if you strip it right down obviously) and theyare PRO'S they did the red car in my sig. Premier coachworks, Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Nowt wrong with using Celly paint though. I have heard you can put a clear hardener laquer type coat on after and it looks nice and shiny also protects the paint, and works out cheaper than 2pac.

was ure paint still tacky when you put the seal on ? i know celly paint reacts with all sorts its a bugger :(

have a go yourself, i did and im well happy! no runs, no orange peel etc. Most people come back after have a car done by someone else with something they are not happy with, if your doing the job you just correct any blemishes by doing it again.

If you use 2 pack as i did don’t for get to get the proper mask etc.. you don’t want chemical death.

cost me about £200. (if you already have a compressor)

there is a place between me and baldwins that charges £175 for a re-spray......bet that comes out good

Its only a bit of metal. If it blows it blows!

I did mine myself and you can tell! but it was a rush job! had a bit more practice and got some tips off me mate who is a painter for a living! but will definately be using 2 pac this time! not the rapper!

I paid £1000 +vat iside and out on my herritage shell.
Shane.

if you can do it yourself then try it, its cost me around 200 to do each of my minis with buying the paint and doing the prep, I have heard of someone in the bristol area who will spray a mini for 200 if you do the prep

i had my last mini painted outside for £400 as an on the side job. That included some prep as i did a shocking job of it, however luckily they used it to train some guy on

on this car i did all the work and it cost me £50

however im about to give it another go and do it all myself-this could be entertaining

Certainly could Nic.....If you can't get hold of an air feed mask for christ sake borrow mine. Paint can do you you some serious harm and the only way to be safe is a separate comp running an air feed from a clean air supply.

i bit the bullet and bought a mask yesterday, i was going to bodge something, then borrow one, ut ive got acouple of things to do so i might as well buy one

cheers for the offer though

I have done a few myself, but ts a love/hate relationship, Its a hell of a lot of work but if you use the cash to buy good quality paints, epoxy, two pack and proper masks etc. it wont blister through. Like was said before if its not great you can always rub it back and shoot it again. I'd say my jobs are better than 80-90% of the "professional" jobs I see, but be warned you will get to know every liitle blemish on the car and it drives you crazy... Other people cant understand what you are on about.
