But unlike the car, the paint's new. And probably of a higher quality (not that I should be bagging XF's).
It depends on the quality of the existing paint, rust, type of paint you want, quality of panels, how deep the respray is etc. Cheapest I've seen is $599, but that assumes just a simple rub back and respray in a basic paint and I doubt the quality would be anything to write home about. You could quite easily pay about $20,000 for a respray if you wanted also. $3000-5000 should see a reasonable respray done. When you change colours you have to remove the engine, spend years doing sills and that adds a fair bit. Generally, for an XF, it's really not worth it. LOL. I'm not bagging your XF. I own a resprayed XF. Albeit a pretty badly resprayed one. The engine bay never got done.
Yeah true respray are always better than stock new cars seem to have some horrible paint jobs and orange peel. My mate respray his vp wagon in anthracite grey cost him a grand in materials got his mate to paint it for nothing and its a good paint job for a 3rd year apprentice spraying black (well almost) for the first time
yeah dont wanna go nuts and yeah im changing the car everythin thanks will ill have a word to one of them next cruise or hopefully they see this lol i love that car and yeah hahaha ill spend any amount of money i have to just need to buy it back :whistling
if you want the quality my cars getting done to ill do it for $20,000+ thats if price isnt a problem with you depends on what you want really, my mate whos painting my car would proberly do a quick spray if your not over phased about it but still will be semi good, all depends on rust, dents and previous paint etc
