Respray - Colour change. How much roughly?

My MY99 silverstone is starting to look a little tired. Stone chips and a few scratches here and there mean it needs some TLC.

Out of curiosity, how much would I be looking at to get the whole car gone over in Silverstone again to bring it back to pristine condition?

Then I got to thinking, how much would a colour change be? I quite fancy white....

Anyone got any ball park figures? I've never had much to do with bodyshops so I have no idea really.

My same colour respray was just under £2k.

As said, 2k if you want a decent one.

You'll get some of these back street garages quoting 800-1200. Don't go there. Pay for quality!

This really is a case of buy cheap, buy twice.
Your best bet is to find some examples of peoples work, preferably which were done some time ago so you can see how it's lasted
