   How come if i were to get my car resprayed in the same paint its cheaper then having a different colour? they still have to rub all the car down right?

   i think the reason why its more if you wanted a different colour is because they would have to use a heavier primer?

   Because if they are just doing it the same colour they dont have to spray the door checks and engine bay etc, just the panels. If you are going for a full colour change they need to spray everything, because obviously you don't want to have a red car but when you open the bonnet its blue inside.
