Just been cleaning the car a little today, but seeing as,its currently 20shades of red from the spraying tidying up the bodywork over the last couple of years it looks like a respray is gonna be called for.

Has anyone recently had a respray done?.

Im not wanting to change the colour or go for anything fancy, just a simple standard ag2 red respray.

Question is how much would i be looking at for a repaint?

you want clear coat too?

1000 at carr hill dave. i've seen his work too.its nice. or 4-600 for an it'll do job off someone else mate.

An it'll do job isnt for me. It doesnt need to be show winning paintwork, but does want to look like a factory finish if possible.

Hey,not sure about prices in england but had a full respray done, just got car back the week end €1600. that included sum welding, fitting side skirts, fitting 99 spec rear lights bumper etc got it done in original ag2, can't believe how nice the colour came out,il try get sum pics up

you want clear coat too?

 

Yeah. Just want to have it looking nice,again after all the work ive done to it.

i'll take you to him if you like mate.

pics are a must. Good price you had. Be nice to see the results.

Well that beats the £4200 I'll be paying :(

i was quoted £1200-£1300 for mine to be done and that was a colour change to including door & boot shuts plus fitting 2 new rear arches

Well that beats the £4200 I'll be paying :(

 

I spray cars to a show finish for a living and that Price IS HIGH,

 

i see some customers paying that for extensive full resprays with candys, pearlecents you name it! i can only think of oneplace that would charge sooooo much, and that is house of colour and a main dealer of course:tongue:

 

i would ask what your getting for the money if i where you mate

Work is pretty extensive. Complete interior out, engine bay completely emptied.

New floor, sills. Full pearl colour change. Some fibreglass work on front bumper.

That looks fantastic. Ag2 is a very nice colour on a z, really suits the style better than any other colour.

my body shop have quoted 1500 for a color change, but then again my zed needs loads of prep work....

Lovely looking ZX there CiaranZ......

 

.....I think red is still the best colour for the Z32 - it was "The Designer's Choice" of colour so that's a fitting endorsement for sure!!

thanks for comments guys, "designers choice" must remember that haha! have to say a colour i love on these cars is pearl white,classy lookin!

Before any respray take your plastic trim out of yout boot and check for rust where the rear bumper mounts the car and the arches. My car was mint. had the respray done the 3 months later the arches started to bubble.

 

So before you blow all your money have a quick look.

Yup - it's in the book "300zx - The Enthusiast's Companion" get yourself a copy mate; it's a great book and tells the story of our cars!!
