   There's a saxo for sale round my area, only it's dark red and I can't stand the colour
   
   How much would a full respray in either posi blue, black or silver be as an estimate?

   No point in buying a car your gonna change the colour of. Find a saxo with the colour that you want. Saves spending upwards of a grand on painting, which could be put to far better use.

   a good respray can range from what i know off from £800 up to £2000 depending on what you like, best bet really is to pick up the phone and ring around a few bodyshops get some prices

    i wouldve thought a full respray in the same colour will still be as much if its a different colour

    no, cheaper if you get it the same colour, as you dont have to really bother with all the door shuts, and under the bonnet etc etc

    Agree with the above dude and would really recommend holding on in there and waiting for a decent colour in decent condition and save yourself the time/monies and hassle

    You could try getting it machine polished - takes off the top layer of the paint!
