EG Re-Spray.

I think black is one of the most expensive flat colours because it shows all the "problems" with the surface. If it’s done on the cheep IE very little prep work it will look poor.
It was cheaper for my friend to get a metallic paint job rather than a black one

half empty when it comes to DIY re-spray!
i might settle for a white one...

i wouldnt spend 5k on paint unless id finished everything else i wanted done.. IMO money better spent elsewhere.

sorry to go off topic again, but does anyone know if any of our EG's came with a black dash? i mean black vinyl, and same with the door trims etc? if so.. which ones..

thanks

>50% of EG Civic will come with a grey boring dash. If you do find an EG with a black dash, basically mean they have painted the dash themselves. Interior of a EG = very boring.

so u can get the dash properly painted?

Note that I said 4-6K upwards. Even at $6K I would be highly suspect. If the tradesmen is so good, why is he selling himself short?

The respray on my MG B was close to 8K, and that's with myself doing alot of the prep work.
