Complete Re-Spray
Hey there, I'm a newbie doing up my 71' Type 3 Fastback and i was wondering if anyone could give me an idea on the sort of price I should be paying
for a re-spray, I want to change the colour from green to black and I want it to be gloss black not metallic.
Thanks

Assuming you will be paying a panel shop, budget around $4000 as long as your body is in good shape

I have had quotes from $2000 for a simple spray over my prep work,a dn do the masking to over 7K for a proper respray plus any major rust work.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

I spent around $2000 just in materials by doing it all myself - but it took me 8 months and that included all rust/panel/paint work.
Depends if you go back to bare metal (much more expensive), or just spray over what you have (obviously with some prep work). You will always save
heaps by doing as much disassembly yourself as possible - just think all the shit work you would hate to do....if you want someone else to do it, be
prepared to pay.

The notch goes in for a complete re-spray in January...$3000 all up. But I have to supply rust free deck lid, doors, front quarter panel and rear qp.
It's also a perfect time to replace all the old rubbers too, so don't forget to budget for that. Good luck
