Complete respray

Postby misty2k » Tue May 27, 2008 6:22 pm

OK, now this will probably never happen, but curiosity has got the better of me...

Has anyone had a complete respray of a CC (or Saloon too I guess... I assume prices will be comparable)?

It's just I knocked this little picture up and I'd love to know how much I'd have to save up if I were to indulge my fantasy?

Cheers,


Dee

P.S. I have saved the file, so if anyone has any outlandish colours they'd like to see one in, I can give it a go.

...and I did a colourise job on my actual car but as she is Silver now (as per reflection), the effect isn't as good. Still, she looks lovely...

Now that, is a good looking car...

Hope the shade is right for what you were thinking. I've saved the files so can tone it down / brighten it up a bit if needed.

Oh yes, long held dream to have a real oh-my-Goodness, head turning Purple Car.

So... returning to my original question... any ideas on a price for a total respray?

Here's a couple more ideas... now tell me that either of these paint jobs wouldn't turn heads. 8-)

Of the two, I prefer the yellow, but worry that I'd come in for a load of "did you leave your car parked when they painted the double yellow lines?" jokes.

I think for a good job, a full respray would cost you around £2000. When it comes to a paint job you get what you pay for. check out https://www.avoncustom.com. I've used them in the past and would really recommend them. You can ring them for more accurate qoutes.

Not a fan of the purple like, the green looks slightly better, think a yellow cc would look well with black graphics and wheels.

So are you getting this done then?

Well, it's such a huge extravagance now I see how much it could cost, I'd need a minor lottery win to justify blowing 2 Grand on a paint job. I might look into some decals though as a cheaper option and, hopefully, one that wouldn't kick me in the ass for resale value.

Yes indeed. Very Sexy. There is something so cool about Yellow cars.
