    Colour change avarage costs

    I want to do a colour change on my car and treat some rust bubbles on the rear arches, A few dints also. I want the door shuts etc done and i guess the windows out or at least the seals

    What would be a normal price i'd expect to pay?

    It will still be a green colout and my car is an emerald 14a

    Cheers

    Jon

    on my old car i had a like for like respray and kit fitted for 1200quid, didnt have to do the shuts as it was like for like and blended fine. for that i really did get an awesome job, so for the extra work of shuts and windows out id say 1600 as a very minimum for a good job but depends if the bodyshops prices match thier work. you may get lucky like i did and find somewhere that does awesome work for reasonable prices - but - the workshop was very honest and in a right state but it was only the end product i was interested in. basically dont let the premises put you off if the bodyshop is known for turning out excellent work.

    You love it really Jim, just another excuse to get the cleaning utensils out again!

    Have you got a colour sample Jon? I'm curious!
