So, I've only had one quote so far - £275 but thought that's a bit steep. Conversely, I don't want to get a dirt cheap quote only for someone to do a shoddy job. Any ideas what prices is reasonable? Any recommended companies within a 1hr drive of Nottingham? Cheers for all suggestions!

I have a calypso red one I was going to spray yellow. Fancy a swap?? It is a copy one though in case it bothers you.

Id reccomend L.W Smartrepairs in alfreton. Just had my car re done there and looks absolutely mint. Ask for lee and say that Alex with the blue vx sent you. Www. Lwsmartrepairs.co.uk.

Cheers Derbyvx - I'll give em a shout. Sorry FLD - I like the fact mines OEM and I also had it lined for winter-warminess so want to keep it...worth the asking question tho eh? ta

Yeah lee will sort you out with a good job! He's a car enthusiast aswel an a bit of a perfectionist, he laqueres all my carbon fibre parts and always does a good job.

Had a quote of £360 to get mind done today Think I'll keep looking.

£200 is the max you should pay. That's what my spray guy charged and he's the best but also most expensive sprayer I know.

I paid £130 to get my "Jonnyboy hardtop" filled, flatted and sprayed. The colour match is fantastic! I got it done at facelifts in Burton (near Derby)

Is your hardtop colour matched to a silver VX Turbo's body or is it the standard factory shade of silver? I have a mint OEM lined silver one that I would pay to swap with you if it is. The bit of extra money would effectively make your respray cheaper and would be cheaper for me than getting mine painted. I have only acquired one quote but that was for £300 which I was not prepared to pay.

as most of you know i have around 7 vx220 turbos...i have all different kind of spray jobs regular..... id pay between 70 and 130 max

I paid £200 for mine to be resprayed, didn't do a great job but hey.

[FLD]

No harm in asking and I agree that you made the right choice keeping an OEM one. I'd say 100 quid is about right for painting a hardtop.

Mine's standard silver (matches the windscreen surround) - is that the same as what you already have?
Cheers!

All the best

[Harry0075]

Need to get mine sprayed too (have one of the jonhboy specials)...but i'll probably wait until sept/oct now...I did ask a few folk on here and around £150 (give or take a little) seemed reasonable...

[Muncher]

£130-150 is reasonable if it's going through the books properly.

[J4EY D]

Got mine done for £175, top job as well. Its the price of a standard panel respray

[Seb.F]

My bodyshop would do mine for around £120ish. Top guys as well, do all the F1 stuff.
