VX220 Respray cost?

[jimmyV8]

Just wondered if anyone could advise me on a ball park figure for a full respray of a VX220 Turbo? I appreciate that it will vary from play to place but a rough figure would be great. Cheers

Worth noting that the VX because of its height, shape, material and paint quality is very prone to stone chips.
If you want a pristine one you'll probably need a respray and then factor a few hundred quid so some sort of film protection...

Try asking here: http://vx220.org.uk

Quite a few people have had cars resprayed for various reasons and prices seem to vary quite a lot. And definitely factor in the cost of some clear film protection for the car when you're done - as mentioned above they are extremely prone to stone chips.

I appreciate they are always going to have a few stones chips was just out of interest really. Cheers for your feedback

3 - 4K!

Is that hand painted by Italian Virgins

Vauxhall quoted me £1500 for a full respray. A smaller local firm said they could do it for £800.

Now if £800 was a really good job in a decent colour, I'd be tempted to change the colour of my car

It's true. When I sold mine the front was absolutely covered in them. Get some paint protection and you should be fine.

mines suffering from the dreaded paint bubbling,

worried if i get a respray it will all just happen again

tempted to get a vinyl wrap, have you considered?

Don't fool around with cheap resprays. If it's been outside and started bubbling then it needs a complete strip down and to be oven baked. Ask the paint shop if it will be oven baked or it won't cure the problem.
