Dunno about over there but over here full respray starts at 3k (thats with no panelbeating)
You could easily spend 5-6-7-8-9-10 though.
What colour black oiut of interest? Il hopefully do mine a charcoal sorta black once summer comes around. Not bogan black though |
Just be thankful you got two legs to stand on and hands to grab sh*t with! |

if your going black be prepare to pay up if u want it SMICKO!!!!! black will bring out every dent ect which unless u r willing to pay they wont touch it , ,,, My advice would be if u got the $$ get body straightened b4 u get paint or it will look sh1t!!! I live in W.A amd I can tell u now the prices are all the same for a black paint job (BULLSH1T PRICES) Hunt around dude and I'll make a few calls for ya and let ya know what I can come up with  let me know what you what done but not a half Idea! |

| I would say get some quotes, but there's a panelbeater in Carlisle called Stuttgart Autos. They normally paint Mercs for a living, but as Mercedes Benz owners tend to be fussy bastards, I would use them as an approximate estimate for a quality job. Having the "three pointed star" above the door means they have to charge for overheads, but that will give you an idea of "how much is the limit?" |

| Expensive and not an easy job to do properly as the door jams, engine bay etc will need to be painted as well...You could do it the dodgy way but will never look the same. For a basic job i would quote 3 thousand dollars but expect that price to go up if the shop you go to is 'high class' in which they will not do a bodge job as they have to give you a long warranty. |
Cheers,
Nodg. |

| Some panelbeaters may reduce the quote if you've done much of the surface prep for them i.e. sanded back the car. Although most panelbeaters would ask for it to be back to bare metal for a real quality job. Dunno the panelbeater you want to use, but no harm in asking them |
