Hi all, I'm after a bit of info regarding the cost of a respray.
I have a vh SLE that's never been in an accident.
Some surface rust on the boot, bonnet and roof.
Deeper rust just in the top of the boot jam and the battery plate.
One larger dent under the drivers door and a few small trolley dings in the doors.
The plan is to have the car (inc door jams and engine bay etc) taken back to bare metal, all dents etc fixed up and then repainted in the original colours (blue on silver).
I've spoken to 2 painters so far and both have said approx $5k-$6k in materials and $15k in labour.
Does that seem like a normal price for such a job?
Understandably there's lots to consider but some ballpark numbers from your own experiences would be really helpful.
Cheers
