How much should I be budgeting in my build for getting the bodywork painted?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of bodywork to paint, so I'm guessing it's not to astronomical - but then again, I've never had a car resprayed or painted before, so I wouldn't know...

Any ideas?

paint cost

I had my Sportster painted in Ford Aubergine metallic in 1997 and it cost £900. I believe for a professional job it would now cost up to £2000, I suspect you can probably get it done a lot cheaper but to what standard would it be.

I've read any where between £1000 and £4000 depending on what level of finish your after. I guess it also comes down to how much preparation you do yourself. I will be looking in the £2000 range I think.

Thanks for the replies... the total line on my spreadsheet is somewhat higher now.

Have you tried out the Madabout build cost estimator to see if it compares to your totals at all?
