Total Resray S70

Hi all, I (well my wife) has a white S70 2.5SE and she loves it. But its white and boring, so rather than move it on, I was contemplating respraying the whole car if it wasnt too much. Does anyone know how much that would cost for a metallic finish?

Cheers, Sherbo....

All depends on wether you doing the spraying yourself or paying to have it done. A proffesional colour change could cost upwards of £1000, however if your doing it yourself it'll just cost you the price of the paint. Base coat is around £30-£40 per litre,Laquer is around £20 per litre, plus you need hardner if your using 2 pack paint(probably best to get a good finish). Expect to pay a few hundred quid for the paint etc..

Cheers... Would probably be looking for someone else to do it and although more expensive, would 'hopefully' do a better job!!

Make sure that whoever you get to do it you see some of their work first. I've seen loads of so called 'experts' charge a bloody fortune for a crap respray. Also make sure they do inside the door shuts, under the bonnet etc.

Your best bet may be to approach an accident repair centre, where are you from??

Glasgow, so there will be a few body repair shops around.... As you say, its picking the right one....

I know of a couple of places and know their work first hand as they have done work on my previous cars. Both are in the Bonnybridge area so are about 20-30 mins drive from Glasgow.

If you need any more info let me know.
