Respray - rough cost?

[dbz864]

Don't be fooled by thinking the more you pay the better the job will be. You could take it in somewhere that will charge £5k but do a £1k job. Some body shops will charge £90 per hr and be "pooh", some will charge £25 per hr and be good. Ive asked many painters and body people how much guarantee they give on paint on a t25, not one seems to answer. Pay your money and take your choice/chance.
Id think long and hard before paying big money to paint a t25,however emotionally attached you are .
I've had many many t25s painted by many bodyshops and have never been 100% happy with any job. Show me a paint job on a t25 and il show you faults.
Any painters on here give good guarantees on seams etc? anyone?
Like said strip the bits off yourself and build it back up, you will save a lot, but don't start squirting aerosols over it.
