Paint.

[Grumps]

Having had Ronnie a couple of weeks now I've had time to have a good delve about. I'm so chuffed with all the refurb stuff @Lee and Co have done. He sounds lovely, very similar to Reggie actually. Underbody is like a new pin .

For me though it wants bodywork. I was looking at wrapping it but having spoken with one or two it appears to have too many imperfections for wrapping so I'm going to have it painted.

I do like the Madives blue and would happily have it the same again but if I'm paying this it got me thinking how much more would it be to have a full colour change. With the Zeds being only being primed in the boot or under the bonnet would I be right in it may not be excessively more expensive to do? I have had a quote to respray in Maldives but not spoken to anyone regarding a full colour change.
Any painters or peeps that have done this that could shed any light?

Dave just remember if you go with the colour change door checks and door edges will need to be colour matched

You won't be getting any change from £3k+ for a full respray mate more for a colour change. A cheap paint job is just that, cheap.

I've had a quote and there definitely wasn't change from £3k mate . I did say I want a proper job doing, full strip down etc so expected as much.

Mine was £2800 less VAT (cash job) from a local firm a few years ago. A full panel off job too and your car is bigger.

£3000-3500 depending on how in depth I want to go mate.

The cars been 80% re painted mate.

I don't remember any imperfections that would show under a wrap, this is still your best option to go.
