Default Respray budget / West Mids paintshops

Hi guys

Looking to treat my weary looking DBM bugeye to a respray of the original colour - correct some light abrasive marks and give it a nice once-over.

How much should I budget for a full respray and does anybody know any good paintshops near to Walsall, West Mids?

thanks all

Are you sure the car needs a complete respray, would you not get away good correction detail. That would make a world of difference to the paint world and be easier on your pocket if your on a tight budget.

Hi mate - the car got detailed and it didn't take away the abrasions.

I believe I need a once-over really, on one side of the car more than the other side. Basically fence paint got on the car with the wind and I used an abrasive () that was too harsh and it's left lots of swirls and scratches.

I just want it returning back to a nice gleaming DBM colour

Oh ok mate. Well I think you could be looking at 2000ish but you might be able to save a bit if you prep the car yourself ie removing lights trims etc etc before it gets painted to save on labour costs.
