hi there does anyone no around about how much it would cost to get my car resprayed. it has lots of light scratch marks, almost like a cats been on it. i have had it cut and polished but that hasnt helped much. it is a ss commodore in a black colour with a hint of dark green in it

Done properly with quaility products. Between $3 and $5k if no panel work as such is required.Your looking at $300(average) per panel plus front and rare bumper. alot of time goes into doing a good job.

Budget 350 per panel.

Hard to give an idea without seeing it. I normally do 'outside' only repaints for between $600 - $1000.
You will get some on here saying that's too cheap or cheap equals crap, well i have plenty of proof to say otherwise.
PS: Feilding isn't far from the 'naki LOL.

I wonder if it could be Scotched and re-cleared if it's only surface scratches. Just sayin' is all.

I'm also wondering if a 1500 and cut wouldn't do it.

Good on ya for caring 'bout ya car.
A "cut & polish" is really a very good "clean" for want of a better word LOL.
What your car may need is to be sanded with a fine grade sandpaper then "cut".
I'd get as manyopinions from car painters as you can before you comit to a repaint.
Oh and don't let them tell you that you HAVE to get it repainted.

Naki to Fielding would be expensive on gas! Ive filled my 1991 v8 Statesman In Auckland & it only cost $75 to fill back up when I got to Wanganui. That was October last year. With that colour, sounds like yours is a VR/VS, yes!

It's like a repaint with just clear.

vs yep

Panther, rings a bell, black with green flip if its a VRish Rule of thumb is if you can hook your nail on the scratch its fairly deep and may need colour. As for clear respray, could well work. A proper sand and polish takes a while as well as the clear is god dam hard.What years your car!

no one can quote without seeeing - call into say 3 P&P shops and ask to see their previous work as well - cheap is not always good.
