Cost for a full respray?

[Bushkin84]

Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone knew a rough price for a complete respray, as in a completely different colour on an e46 m3?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum!
you would'nt want to skimp on a M3, so a good respray of a different colour would be £4-5+k

Welcome aboard mate, were abouts are you from? maybe someone will know somebody local to you who is decent and give you a quote.

Bare metal respray would be £5k ish. However, if your paint is in decent condition, and not contaminated, a good bodyshop can key the existing paint work and respray. That'll cost half.

Depends on a number of factors. eg:

Existing paintwork condition
Bodywork condition (dents, door dings, previous accident damage etc)
Whether you want the engine bay sprayed aswell.
What colour your going for, some colours require more coats to get a better finish.
Whether you want to get it wet sanded to reduce OP before lacquer/sealing.

All comes down to what you want done and how deep your pockets are. I'd say anything from £2k+ for a basic respray.
