Spraying a car

yop

Folks appreciate you feedback

My missus has a 2001 Focus, she has had a few scrapes, people opening doors, scuffs on bumpers both back and front.

I will be selling it for her soon and to be honest it looks bad with the scrapes and that.

What I am asking is it dear to spray a car?

Is there a cheaper way to sort it out, there could be up to 20 scrapes on its. Bumpers are scuffed badly.

If someone saw a car fully resprayed, would it put them off buying?

The car is probably worth 1500 euro or so, its a 1.6, 3dr with 122k miles.


Thanks very much

You'd spend more than it's value on a respray.

Scrub it up and let it go.

It's nine years old... only a moron would expect it not to have a few bruises.. tbh the buyer probably wants a motor like that (won't loose sleep over any more car park bumps).

It would cost more than the car was worth to get it re-sprayed and yes, people would be asking questions...

Thanks, just didn't honestly know if it was worth it or not.

Got my answer now

In fairness, the way people park their cars in carparks and lack of respect for other peoples cars. Opening doors out and putting bangs and scratches on your car. I'd save yourself the expense of getting another car if its mechanically sound, and the worry of coming back to your car to find it dented, scuffed or scratched.

you would never re-coup the money on the spray job.. no point...
