Respray & dent repair

future_plans

Lads, just wondering how much a full respray and repair of a few dents on an old 98 Honda Civic (saloon) should cost? Thanks.

1200 or so depending on where you go?
And at that supply your own paint probably, have you got pics of the Civic?

Full resprays done properly are usually circa 2k (I'm not self promoting here btw, I don't do full resprays).

Really depends on how many panels extent of damage etc. But if you want a good job done youl have to pay for it. I didnt appreciate the amount of work involved until I did a bumper and some panels myself, and even then didnt work out too good.

that seems very cheap!!!
I paid 2500 to reapray the FTO and there were no dents or anything to be fixed..... just needed a freshen up!
You definatley get what you pay for Ive seen some shocking cheap jobs done.... the colour its going will have a huge inpact on the quality of the job... black will show everymark whereas silver hides a multitude of sins....

at the end of the day you really do get what you pay for so if I were you I'd go to the person you know the most about and hhave a look at some of their work if you can. You also need to consider things such as does the guy/gal use an oven to bake after spraying or it is just left to dry.

If you really care about how the job comes out make sure you do your research!

Yeah my car is black, and I got the quote for the whole body including dents, except my boot and spoiler cos they're carbon, I still havent gone for it though.

But after you get it done you'll most likely see what people mean when they say you get what you pay for
