Hey guys,

I have a white scala as sorn of you know, anyway this won't be happening soon but want to get a head planning wise. Does anybody have a rough idea on what a full respray would cost for one?

Same colour (alpine white)
Thanks

depends if you're doing it yourself, or paying someone, and how good you want it to be. google the $50 paint job

You probably ought to be paying around £2k-£4k depending on the extent of the work involved.

I'd recommend taking to Ant (the Autoad) if you're anywhere near Nottingham, or prepared to travel.

Why does it need a respray, rust etc? If you just think the colour has faded or dulled down then get it professionally machine polished, this is what I did when I first bought my Scala, it had 20 years of London mess to shift, the result was good.
If not as Ed says plan on a couple of grand for a decent job.

It's me being a perfectionist really lol but it's odd. The car looks like it has recently been done but there's brush marks on the front lip of the bonnet and mirror covers. I'll try and get some pictures next time.

Probably able just to get panels done and blended

Brush marks could mean the stone chips have been touched up?

If just the bonnet and mirror covers then I wouldn't think it would cost more than £300! I had the bonnet sprayed, rear arches rebuild and whole car polished for £500 inclusive on my Storm.

That's not bad at all, haven't been down to the garage/car for a while due to the weather and work but need to start cracking on otherwise will never be ready lol
