E90 respray cost

Does anybody know how much it will cost to respray a e90? Same colour, exterior only.

Don't need the exact price, just a rough gauge so I know what to expect before walking into the shop.

Thanks.

Re: E90 respray cost

is $1,000 - $1,200 considered a steal
same colour means respray all exterior areas with no dismantling or whatsoever right
anyone done this before

yes,u're right bro.respray same colour involves no dismantling.
only when you change colour then everything needs to be removed so as to facilitate the spraying of the inner side,if not you would have 2 colours.

Even if same colour, I think price should not be the prime concern. The skills and the spraypainter's eye to details play a more important role. In this aspect, it is either SWC or Yew Lip.....

Read many good reviews on SWC and not so good reviews on yew lip, guess I'll be paying a visit to SWC soon. Does anybody know what paint SWC is using? I believe the quality of the paint used is as important as the worksmanship.
 
Re: E90 respray cost

The clear lacquer (hard-coat) is very important component of a 2K paint compared to base coat..........2K = 2 komponent (german spelling)...Beside paint quality final outcome is determined by skills of the painter and the dust free environment during oven baking....

For best paint job, you need to strip to bare metal and do the primer and the actual painting....

It should cost less than $2.8k. But how about trying on a spray on film protection which doesn't require polishing in future for permanent gloss and no more bird shit stain etching into your paint?

Let me guess you're trying to sell a product called ArmorCoat
For which you're the S'porean distributor?

It's quite obvious from his nick isn't it?

Anyway it's out of context in this thread where we are discussing respraying to cover up the paint chips, dings and dents, and to freshen up the look of the car.
