EG Re-Spray.

[Paul1985]

Hey guys.

Im looking for a cheap EG for my project car.
Im gonna be dropping another engine in it so it doesnt have to be the newest and best, 1 thing i want though, is for it to be black. Just the standard black u see on black civics.

Because im looking for a cheap, most likely earlier model EG, i dont think i'll find one in black.

So i was wondering if anyone knows what sort of price getting a EG resprayed in black would cost? i wanna goto somewhere well known also.

I dont want any special paint, i want it just like the standard black EG

Im just trying to figure out whether it would be cheaper to get a real cheap EG and have it resprayed. If getting this cheap EG resprayed is gonna cost just as much a newer EG that is black, then id prefer to go the newer one.

Thanks for the help if anyone knows

obviously he knows that already, that's why he's asking how much it is to respray..

[Paul1985]

HONDA, CIVIC SI 1993 $11,900
Black, 3d hatchback, 140,000 kms, Manual

thats what i want but for half the price.. lol

HONDA, CIVIC BREEZE 1992 $5,995
White, Hatchback, 5 sp manual

If i got that second one down to $5k, and had it resprayed.. i wonder how much it would cost? u reckon about $6.5k ?

[StrawberryFace]

6.5K for the Respray alone, or the car and respray in total?

[Ollie]

In total I'd guess.

it depends whether u wanna respray the engine bay too..
or if u just want the outta layer done..

[jackosimm]

gotta get it all done, inside door panels so forth, looks dodgy other wise. Wouldnt no about costs though mate.

Thats right^^

colour changes don't come cheap, cause there is so much prep work to do etc etc..

I say to save money, buy one and sand it all back your self. If the prep work is done, then spray should cost you about $1500 for basic black spray job.

not cheap hey..
id be prepared to pay around $2k...
too much more than that then i dont think id be interested in respraying.

$2k will buy you a habbib smash repairs special with extra orange peel...

A good respray will cost upwards of 4-6K.

[paulosportz]

2k is pretty low if u want a full respray

u could prolly just do exterior for 2k, no door jams, engine bay etc
but why bother, do it properly. or if u want the cheap way out just respray it stock color.

thats what i did, resprayed mine stock silver..
