Car repainted

[terry2366]

Hi all I'm looking fora repainted in the same colour af my car. It's a Suzuki SX4 in white which is 2 pack paint. I know a fair bit about spraying cars so not a complete numpty. It's got a few trolley dent on the side but nothing serious. Went to local garage west side and was quoted. 52,500 tl to do the job his excuse was paint has gone up. He wants paying in sterling £1500 So can anyone help.
Please no mates or the like just ones you have used yourselves
Thanks

Had my SX4 in metallic blue re sprayed - baked on - last year and that was £1500 then, including some minor body damage repair, all done to a very good standard and was happy with who’ve. Some very minor bits could have been better but all in all good! No over sprays around lights etc as they were all removed before work done. I think if you are being quoted the same price now you will be lucky!

Had a Fiesta done just BC(before covid) I thought of total resparay and was advised not to as they strip the car down then re assemble after
I had six or seven panels done roof doors excellent job it was 2/3000 tl seemed a lot then £250/£300 we are now 3+ years on pait matches varnish finish was a problem thats fine .Total respary was about £650/700.The colour is a 2003/4 pale light green metalic no overspay good match

Never heard that taking a car to bits. You sure they said that why would they do that

Gates the man who painted the car didnt say that because I dont speak Turkish and he doesn't speak english .The man who recomended him a very good and knowlageable friend said that total respray meant removing seats door trims etc in the TRNC unfortunatly he is no longer with us
The paiter I recomending matched the pannels well and did an excellent job for what is now the cost of a good meal for 3

Unfortunately a total respray by a professional does mean stripping down the car as this is the correct way of a full body respray.

so whoever said this is correct.

Saddique Thanks for your comments

I am not on some personal vendetta here but I have had 3 vehicles complete re spray and pass a small spray shop each day and never seen them remove any parts. In a lot of cases I would think it is an impossible job . Perhaps that bloke does i don’t know

[Saddique]

I personally would never allow painters to spray my car without having panels being removed, in order to do a proper job

[gates]

Quite a few panels on older cars are spot welded so the damage it causes would be massive and probably lead to new panels.

To respray a car to a good standard all non painted parts need removing.
