Not worth what it will cost on a 13 year old car tbh

couple hundred to get bonnet and roof back to gold, just a pain gold car is horrific looking too but i cant decide which is going to be worse

That looks like the standard gold colour that Yaris's where available with so you could look around some breakers yards and find a bonnet in the same colour, Then you'd only have to spray the roof.

To put things into perspective my brother bought a 2001 Vectra afew months ago for €350

Worth considering before spending your money

Why did you buy it if you didn't like the colour? Anyhoos, as you probably got it for around €1,500 I wouldn't spend that much on a respray.

Had a Honda Civic that got some paint damage on the bonnet and top, and was quotes €300 for a cheap job, €1,200 for a good job, or €600 for a half decent job.

You should be able to get the bonnet in a brakers yard for the same colour, and spray the roof, but meh, I'd just leave it as is.

I'd be more worried on how hard it's previous owner drove it, and how often it was serviced.

Sorry to Hijack the thread, but ive a 00 Corolla with some rust spots on the bonnet and front grill/bumper, how much for a respray of both does anyone know?

Is it actually worth doing it?

About €500+ for a bonnet and bumper, but prices vary a lot.

Perhaps just start by replacing bonnet? If it's all gold with black roof it might like fine.
It's up to you of course.
