How much to respray and retrim a car?

[Mr Penguin]

Unfortunately the only colours available for the cars I'm looking to buy this year are black, silver, and white exterior and for the interior black or a different shade of black. It doesn't seem like any new buyer bought a car with anything else, and for a lot of cars there is literally no choice.

So with that in mind, how much would I be looking at to respray and retrim it, with good quality leather and carpet and people who know what they are doing?

The car would either be a saloon or a 2+2.

10k minimum

In other words not worth it unless you'vve got money to throw away. either put up wth the colours you can get the car in or look for different cars.

Yep,decent retrim probably £5k and the same ish for paint.

A full colour change will easily be north of 10k.
The car needs taking back to a shell pretty much.

4-5 weeks labour removing, spraying and reassembling.

This isn’t an option unless you are a lottery winner, the work involved to colour change a car is phenomenal. For example it’s an engine out job if you want the engine bay to match, plus all the labour in removing seals and inner doors etc, etc, etc, the list goes on…….

I thought that might have been the answer. Back to the drawing board.

Plan B: Furry seat covers and a wrap
