   Go to local body shops for quotes no one will have the same quote for same work as all body shops will vary in price quality and workman ship

   By the way any body shop that uses the word's "Quick blow over" are not worth going to> No propper body shop with a decent reputation will do any body work without a full prep and prime job.
   
   There is no such thing as a cheap paint job if done properly so ask around. Do your research for a decent bodyshop with a good reputation google is your friend here.

   being in the motor trade for a few years i kno quite a few garages that mite do it on the cheap i spoke to a garage this mornin n they said 500 quid for a re-spray which is very good i think but im not sure wat the usual prices are, buh still 500 quid on engine id probably be happier with the outcome, bit confused wether to go performance first then finish of the body work and thats reli the only problem with them car coz thats all reli needs done to make it perfect as i want about 160bhp and i cud get that with 500 quid easy

   i dont reli kno wat its worth, my idea of wat its worth and someone elses will be completly diffrent, i spent thousands on it over the last year and a half, ive decided im gonna finish off the engine first then bigger front brakes then couple other littlle then wen im done with everything get it resprayed then start saving for turbo or itb,s over the winter redi for next summer

   if you park it in strong winds, it'll get blown over

    Most bodyshops will do it but as most people say, price reflects quality!
