Hi there guys ive just bought a Skoda fabia VRS in Silver.

And iam looking to getting it resprayed in either Black or light blue.

Any ideas on cost for such a thing, I live in Chippenham Wiltshire.

Thanks guys

why do you want it resprayed? bad paint marks etc?

Hello, and welcome to the club!

Don't want seem negative but....................... Why would you want it resprayed? The car is probably worth £5k-6k (guess) and a respray would be several hundred pounds I'm guessing. None of which you'd see back on resale. Unless you were going for some sort of custom job I'd save the money. It'd make me happier looking at larger bank balance and my car in standard color. But then I am quite mean, and mines black already (which everybody knows is the best).

Dont know why the geezer wants a respray . . . Guess he just wants a different colour!

Im half tempted to have my Fabia resprayed in Candy White myself . . . Just because ive got a thing for Candy White!

I hate to be obvious, but why didn't you buy a Black (or LE) in the first place?

Your looking for anything decent, £2k

Yeah if you're going to respray it, dont do it a standard skoda colour.

Candy white or a wild purple

Wild purple

Hello,

Your located rather close to me (Swindon.)

Did you have a company in mind? There are a few really good companies in Swindon however - If your going to want a good job (Inside and Out) then your looking at £1.5k to £2k.

I wouldn't worry about it - Get a vinyl wrap!

Hope this helps,

Rob

Just to point out, its spelt colour too.

Yep. a decent respray will cost around 2k easily.

I'd expect around 2k for a decent job with a good warranty.

Boot like others have said why a colour you can already buy?

I'd say metalic White

Thankyou very much!

Your the only one that gave me a answer with out questioning it.

Thanks again

To be more exact I was after a VRS quickly and this one was at the garaged I worked at. So I bought it, and have got some cash to spend on a re-spray.

Of course its up to you what you do with your car.

But have a look at some of the mods available. You could have a very nice vrs for 2K worth of extras.

Wheels - Suspension - Anti Roll Bars / Poli Bushed - Remapped - Front Mounted Intercooled. To name but a few. . .

If you do change the colour, it would be nice to see some pics. Always nice to see something different.

Cheers

Paint it in Candy White, it's the new silver, so they say.

TBH It would be cheaper to sell your car, and buy one of the colour you want.

In that Case mazds metalic White

You could save some cash and ask the sprayer what you can do to help prep the car. Things like removing trim, door cards windows etc.

Went to prospray the other day and they charge around £140 plus vat per panel. Would expect it to cost more for the whole car due to prep.

I think Black looks good on a freshly cleaned and polished/waxed Fabia. But give it 20 mins of driving and it will look mucky again. Silver or white cars do now show the muck as much. I think the Blue on the SE Fabia looks very nice.

White is a great colour, until you drive it... at all.... or it rains....

unless the colour he wants isn't available.

if i was getting a respray other than a standard colour then i'd do something that suits the car, white would be nice but white cars are now getting very common.
