| depending on how old the rest of the paint is you might want to consider a complete respray as it might make the rest of the paint look dull. if the rest of the paint is pretty new then the best thing you can do is to ring around and get qoutes also try and talk them down a bit by asking them if thats the best price they can do, also ask them what they will need to do to the car before they paint it to see if there is anything you can do yourself, it will save you some money if you can. i just rang a few places where i live to get qoutes done for a full respray on my car and one place wanted 12,000. so dont be shocked if some people give you a price like that because being a vn they all expect it to the original paint so try and give them as much detail about the paint as you can. |
I'd gladly push my holden than drive a bloody ford! |

| Dude i think you got ripped at 6000 the best thing to do is go out of your way to make friends with a spray painter. |

| paiting half of the car then feathering/color matching the paint wont be much more cheaper than spraying the whole car, a good workshop will charge an average of 6 grand to go over the whole car and be able to provide a 10 year warranty (at least) you can go to dodgier places and pay less but it wont be the same, yuou get what you pay for! |
