im in a bit of a situation at the miniute got a bit of money to play with and get the corsa done however im debating the full respray

heres what needs spraying
passenger skirt
drivers skirt
passenger rear arch
passenger door needs a touch up on edges
bonnett is scratched

im in two minds wether to go to a decent bodyshop and get these bits done or to go out and have a full respray still keeping it red , anyone know roughly what prices id be looking for each ? Id also be willing to travel if a fourm member is a sprayer and has a decent quote

Tomnova is a shit hot sprayer and he's darrn sarrf somewhere.

For a full decent respray you're looking at £1500-£2000.

obviously if either option is no bother either way then go for a full respray, thats like asking would you rather have 50 quid or 20 quid lol

but if you are struggling to meet the costs of a full respray theres no reason a decent sprayer could paint just those bits and blend them in, wont look any worse

all decent resprayers i know would charge well over a grand for a full repsray, not saying you cant get it done for a grand but would either be questionable materials or some serious mates rates

Depending where you are in the country it might be worth speaking to Tom. He was offering Corsa B resprays on here a while back anyway?

That's what Tom was doing in January. Best give him a U2U for a quote though.

Obviously no expert on spraying but from what you said it would seem you don't need a full respray.

Skirts and arches are simple enough I would expect.

Just the colour matching I would expect is the issue.
