   On average what is the likely cost of a full respray or a full respray to another basic colour ?
   Just tryna get an estimate price in my head, cheers.

   I was looking into this and I got a quote for mine back to the Blue and it came to about £1000 this was for everything even the trim to be blue I don't know if I was being ripped off but it didnt seem bad at the time but that was a couple of months back

   i'd say between a grand and £1.5k for a same colour blow over
   
   you get what you pay for, good bodywork doesn't come cheap

   Can get it for like £500 but will be a shite job. Work out why you want a respray ie stonechips etc and work out which is cheaper

   Hi,
   
   I have you tried something like T-Cut or Rubbing Compound on those scratches?

   as mentioned above t-cut does a great job on light scratches and marks

    ive sorted all my stuff with halfords spray... I attualy sprayed the whole of my front bumper myself... The way i found best was to waste the paint by keeping the can at a good distance... it takes longer and uses more paint but the colour match is great and use about 6 cans of spray at £11 each- but you can get them for £6 premade. Laqure can was £7 and primer was £7... so was about £70 for the full bumper spray... Ive done lots now, my boot flush, interior, all sorts using this technique! (should take a few cans of paint for scratches, even big ones)
    
    thing is, if you try this and it doesnt work, u can get it resprayed like u were gunna and only wasted £30... BUT if it does work... you will have saved a fortune! - you cant really loose.
