respray

Following on from Jay's and SilverSaloon's labours of love I am joining these lunatics in spending unfeasible amounts of time and money restoring my C124. She is heading for the bodyshop this Monday for a full bodywork refurbishment and respray. All trim is being removed apart from the rear...

Hi guys Here is a couple of pictures I took at the bodyshop today...car is getting prepped and hopefully by next week should have its new colour, diamond black/pure black...i decided to go with non metallic as it suits the car more in my opinion. Body kit will go on by next week as...

So a while ago I went too low on my motorbike and scratched the side. I brought it to the dealer, who said that one of the stickers was a special order and he won't be able to source it easily. I now have a few options... Sticker: - Replace the right hand side with a custom made copy (might...

If you remember I had my car keyed a few weeks ago (just before Christmas) and I am having the work done by Ray's Auto Sprays. Not only they have made it cheaper for me (£100 I have to pay them rather than the £300 excess), decided to do the bumpers as well at no extra cost but they also given...

Thinking of having my C55 repsrayed as previous owner used to have 2 dogs so the outside paintwork is far from good. Already had it clayed and polished last year in order to remove lots of scratches and swirl marks but up close (4-5 feet) paintwork looks rough. I intend to do this when the...

I got quoted this morning £1k for a complete respray on my 97 202. The guy doing the work has won awards all over the country for his work and i've seen first hand how damn good he is. I have no intention of ever getting rid of it (even if I win the lottery) coz it was the very first status...

Hi all I just wanted your opinion on a quote. I've finally managed to get hold of an AMG front bumper for my CLK. The problem is its the wrong colour. The bonnet is a bit scratched and stone chipped and wings are a bit scratched and have some rust starting around the arch so I thought why not...

Anybody out there had any experience of good bodyshops in the Lincoln area? I bought a 2003 w203 about 6 weeks ago and noticed some sort of paint job had been done to the nearside rear door/wing when I removed the rear wheel for cleaning, there was overspray in the rear wheel arch. There seems...

Managed to bottom out my front spoiler on my C220 Sport at lunchtime - high curb in car park :( Already taken it to my local MB dealer for a quote but they outsource their work locally so the quote will be "in the post". The spoiler/bumper is pretty scratched underneath but mostly where it...

Evening I have bought myself a small 2 seater sports car* and am looking at bringing it up to something approaching concours condition. It is a solid-red colour (so, hopefully straightforward to paint in the original shade?!). Can anyone give me a ball-park figure of what I should...

It's coming to the point that I've had enough of people saying "who did that to your car?" and point at where someone has keyed my car. (2years!!) Everytime the thought goes through my head the more I want to get rid of it. So here the question is asked, does anyone know of any good places to...

Hi any one know a good pannel shop for a new paint job.... budget around 2K car paint is fine ish... keyed up one side by random ****! bit of rust on front wheel arches ding on front bumper... want to get it back to showroon for the summer:cool:

My friend has purchased I.Walkers 260e,theres a lot of work required on the body I need some recomendations for quality and price for places in the north west for either full spray or body work repair & spray, ie local to preston going to replace the front wings as these are really bad, there...

Anybody got any idea of roughly how much a complete re-spray would cost for a 129? It would be a change of colour. Thanks.

I'm expecting quite a wake up call on this one but does anyone know anywhere reputable where I can get my beloved W210 resprayed? Its currently Travertine Beige (or Gold to my eyes), not the worst colour in the world but not far off it. Ideally Id like to go for a darker colour, saw a new...

I have been looking into getting the stone chips done on the front of the bonnet and bumper. Chips away wont touch it as the car is silver and they say it would look really bad, two different guys said the same thing. How much would it cost to have a professional respray of the bumper and...

I have a stretched limo which most folks think is a red coloured Sprinter. Unfortunately the sun is bleaching the paint and I'm seriously considering getting the vehicle resprayed to a more practical colour. The question is what colour should I spray it? I would love to get it sprayed the...
