No set average but anything from about £800 to about £4000!

Depends on how good and whether you're having all the rubbers and glass out or not or just a Barry Blow Over!

As coxxy says. You get what you pay for with paintwork , no offs no butts! I've seen one guy paint cars outside and just mask things up, that was a garage too

....and sometimes you don't get what you pay for. I have seen a fair few cars subjected to a full glass out respray by specialists at considerable cost. At best I have been underwhelmed, at worst, genuinely speechless at the finished result. Not all resprays are to the Kully standard/ JJ's MB standard, so it's very important to take it somewhere that you KNOW will do your car justice.

Any pictures?

And the other question is what car are you thinking of having sprayed and is it worth it at the end of the day, it might be a model thats easier/cheaper to buy a mint one in the first place.
