That depends on whether the car only needs a respray or whether it needs some of the fibreglass touching up as well.

It is more likely that if the paintwork has crazing (small cracks) that you will need to a small amount of fibreglass work done on the car.

What I would say is wherever you have the car done - make sure they are experienced in TVR's or at least in fibreglass work as it's quite a specialist job.

That probably hasn't given you much of a guide, but it's difficult to say without seeing the car and knowing exactly what needs doing.

One thing I would say is you get what you pay for - if it's a cheap job then it will look like one.

Richbay.

If you have been reading my posts under S3 REFURB you will know that i am carrying out total rebuild on an S3.
My car needs a lot of body work done, and i am lucky enough to have a friend (Chriss) who is a plastic and fibreglass specialist, hes doing mine and ive seen his work on other cars.
Expect to pay between £1500 and £3000 depending on how much work is required and to what standard your looking for.
If you need a price, Chriss will gladly look at your car.

Good luck.

Dean.
