don't expect much for $3500. I charge around $4500 to $5000 for a basic colour change. And yes the car has to be sanded, dents removed, stripped and a whole lot more. Thats why i say don't expect much for $3500.

On the topic of spraying, what's better? Sanding or stripper?

It's what ever needs to be done. It doesn't really matter.

i dont honestly see the point of a respray unless its really needed, its way to expensive to change colour, i mean think of wat else you coul do with the $$$

it all depends on quality man, how good do you want the job to be?
the current state of your body panels and paint will also come into play when working out the cost as the paint work would need to be rubbed back and resprayed white again for a decent end result with the pearl.

Sold for scrap :(
What about if your colour is faded to all Hell ?

Like my VR is dark blue (I think it's called midnight blue)

and well its hammered faded all over and along the sides of the roof its bare metal, needs a new bonnet due to a kangaroo hit.

So to respray the same colour on the car and fix the lil dents around it how much are you roughly looking at ?
