   depends where you go, if its the same colour or a complete colour change, or if you want just the outside done or the inside and engine bey etc done.

   i would of thought more then 1000, full colour change will mean a complete flat back and prime etc.
   
   would budget more towards 1500, garages do vary on prices tho.

   Its about 600-800 for the outside only if you look around. So thats only suitable if you using the same colour otherwise you door sills, engine bay and the inside of the car will still be the original colour.
   
   
   A full respray of the entire shell is about 1000-1200 if you dont strip it yourself before hand

    your wanting the engine bay done too so the engine needs to come out
    
    for a top notch job id look closer towards 2k cause of it having to be stripped etc...
    
    just sell the car

    Theres a certain element of 'how long is a piece of string?' about this one but for a full respray, inside and outside including engine bay your looking at a minimum of £1k for a reasonable job.
    
    Maybe cheaper if its mates rates but unless its mates rates with a very reputable sprayer it may not be worth it.
    
    You'll probably be looking in excess of £1500 though for a good job.
    
    Mine cost £800 and then i bought all the paint and materials myself which cost another £350. But i did all of the prep work myself saving a very large proportion of the cost and havnt done my engine bay as its easier for me to do that when the new engines ready to go in.
    
    Would have cost about £1750 if id just taken it in and said i want this colour, there you go, let me know when its done.
    
    Sorry for the mini essay

    it costs a hell of a lot less if you strip the car and prep it
