Lukdon had a total on his S2000. Complete strip down and a fantastic job in Swansea. Cost him 2K though

In my experience, a good sprayer will just respray the appropriate panels and blend them in. As Cen said above, a full respray looking at £2k minimum and for that id expect the customer(you) would be helping a lot with prep work. Take your car to someone good and get a quote it'll probably be a couple hundred pounds for the panels you mention.

If you want some ideas of flip paint colours, take a look on barryboys wink

I Know I would say this mate, but a good detail can transform a car. If you had the chips sorted (depending on the severity, some detailers like me can sort them instead of spraying the whole panel) Then you'd be at a lot less than the price of a respray.

Some cars I've done have saved the owner a respray (the owners words)

But if you do want it sprayed, then £2k is the minimum I'd say. I got my S2000 done at trade for £1800.

I had a car in last week that had had a £600 full respray. Terrible does not even begin to describe the horrors that one had, buy cheap - buy twice etc.

Hope this helps.
