    If I was going to buy an audi a4, fairly well kitted out, and it was, say red, how much would it cost to get it re-sprayed white? and what sort of establishment could I get this done in?

    A lot. €3-4K for a proper colour change job. It's a big undertaking, wouldn't bother myself.

    Forget about it - it'll cost too much and devalue the car too much. Buy a white one instead.

    kind of on the same subject. How much would it cost to re-spray in the same colour. Have lots of little nicks and scratches that'll never polish out and often wondered how much it would cost to spray the car. Its black, if that makes a difference.

    You could look into getting the car wrapped.. Havn't seen any jobs done up close so not sure how good they look but surly cheaper than a full respray..

    Hi I don't know what car you have but I was quoted 1500e today for a full respray on a 320.
