How much to respray a Capri?

[crapichris]

now the mechanics are near enough finished on the mark 3 I want to go over the body and get a respray before trying to put it back on the road next year. I tried spraying it myself 2 years ago when I finished the bodywork but, frankly, it ain't brilliant and the roof still isn't done as I run out of paint . Apart from the fact that it was done outside on the driveway, is done in cellulose, and its that 'orrible nimbus grey - nice colour but anyone who's tried to spray this colour will probably know what I mean Everytime you spray it it comes out slightly different and 'streaks' no matter what way you try to spray it.

So I am seriously thinking about leaving it to someone else to make a better job and finish off the car. So the big question is how much do I need to save up or spirit away from the housekeeping?

not looking for perfection - god you should see my attempts I am looking for a good street shine look not concours. I like to drive my cars not polish them too much. I just want the outside panels sorted if you get my drift and want the bonnet matt black - I could manage that myself I hope Where are you guys?

Will continue and hopefully get insured and motd before the new year. Then I can see about filling the petrol tank and having a run down to sunny sussex.

spraying a car is cheap.

its the prepping and the flat and polish after and b4 that cost a lot.

my brother is a painter and he always says how much have you got for him to prep it .it what happend b4 the paint that makes it look good .

it is a case of "you get what you pay for", paid £1200 for mine to be done and it aint great but it'll do.
