Brown Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 so generally, how much is a metallic respray? if you were already having a lot of body work done.. say, kit, bad boy and colour coding handles , mirrors & rubbing strips, might you as well just get the whole thing a respray? and does anyone know how much a flip paint would cost? for arguments sake, lets say a 3-colour camelean orrrrrrrr.... one of those candy/pearl paints where the basecoat reflects though the over coat any help would be great, cheers guys -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob84 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 to get it done properly, like the insides of doors and in the engine bay etc, i'd say the best part of £3K, possibly more worth doing if you can afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Deffo 3k+! The paint / lacquer cost over £500 just to buy! Let alone the bodywork / prep work before and after it's resprayed Flip paint = £1k per litre. You're looking at 2 litres minimum for an esocrt We used 2.5 litres for mine, and 5 ltires lacquer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
