Howdy folks,

 

Just wondering how much you guys think a full respray would cost (with a colour change from stock silver to a deep metallic grey). Bodywork and panels are all good no dings or dents that would need work....also wondering about the chromework (that's painted black on mine) around the window and around the targa top panels - can this be re-chromed? And does anyone know how much to pay for a good pro job on the paint job and the metalwork?

 

Any experiences with good/bad paint shops?

 

Recommendations?

 

Cheers :)

Not sure about prices (I beleive its about double the cost for a colour change though), but just FYI - The Zed has no Chromework. The Window and Targa trim are Black as standard.

 

Its only chrome when the black outer trim has worn away over the years and people have not replaced it.

 

See PPS in Traders section. They are the clubs recomended Bodyshop, and 300zx specialists.

Colour change your looking between £1500-2000

For a proper job including all door shuts rubbers and glass removed £2000 to £2500. If your having any body kit added it'll cost more.

I'd agree with chris on this, you could get the outside done and shuts for probably around 800-1k but not the inside of the boot and under the hood etc. I would say 1500-2k with all interior visible bits done, and most of under the hood done.

 

Having said that depends where you go, the BMW spray place round the corner from me is happy to charge you upto 800.00 for one pannel :eek:

Thanks fellas - I guess the "chromework" being black is a good thing then ;0) hehe - showing up my lack of knowledge......

Wouldn't recommend the half way spray with a colour change - Looks really cheap and nasty!

Agreed, only time you can get away with that is with tints. Someone I know once had a metalic black FTO, and had the outside done with a few purple tints in it, so it wasnt too bad. But I have seen red Cars with Black shuts etc aweful :cry:
