Complete respray for Rover 600

dawkinsrover · 3rd March 2008, 09:08

Do any of you guys in the south west (ish) area know of a good place to go for a full respray. I live in Poole, Dorset.

I have been quoted £2,500.

I want to keep the car the same colour, (Nightfire Red) so do NOT need door shuts, bonnet and boot done, just the outside.

If anyone has any reccommendations I would be grateful-as always.

Thanks guys

might be a bit far for you, but I have had some really good work done on an old Honda Prelude by these guys.

thanks smcaul, have just sent them an e-mail. Chichester is not THAT far, just up the M27. Thanks again, much appreciated. Dave

I hope they get it sorted for you, they are good blokes.

Much of the cost will depend upon how much preparation is required before the paint is applied. £2500 seems dear unless there is some panel repair and much preparation to do.

That's what I thought TF! Not heard back from the guys in Chichester anyway, so far.

Just become a member of Detailing World and put on a couple of posts, very interesting site, with LOADS of advice regarding bodywork, BUT, well, not as friendly as here. Some very friendly guys for sure, but also a LOT of sarcasm from others. Quite an eye opener!

All Bournemouth Taxis have to be yellow and most have to be resprayed and look pretty good. You might ask one of them where they get their work done and I have heard it costs hundreds rather than thousands.

Good luck

Ahh, but it may be cheap because the sprayer bought a job lot of yellow paint on the cheap...

They have an alternative colour for the masses

MAGNOLIA

Its emulsion, real cheap job but only lasts till the next rain appears
