   i have a venetian red saxo vtr phase 1 and to be honest the paintwork has seen better days. i'm thinking maybe a respray is required and was wondering how much i should be looking at to get one done? nothing fancy, just back to standard. i'd do all the preperation etc. how much would be too much? just toying with the idea.

   Id maybe consider getting it Machine Polished before you get it re sprayed.
   
   Full re spray cost a lot and doing the prep work yourself is a bad idea if you don't have experience in spraying, the final result will be a reflection of the prep work, and if you rush it over you will just be disappointed with the results.

   yeah. its just that the panels have been painted at some point. couple different shades of red and rear quarter has orange peel texture to it. it is hardly noticable in daylight but under sodium light it looks horrible. i'm not a complete novice at prep and painting. but as i said just toying with the idea. cheers for advice
