My 98 holden astra hatch has seen better days & really needs some minor dings fixed & a complete repaint.What sort of money am i looking at to do this!

$1200 for a quick flick over.

$3000+++++ for a major strip down and respray.

$10,000 if you want to get really carried away.

$30,000 if you want it completely pulled apart and every single component repainted.

Hammer and $200-300 of spraypaint

After the paint cost, it might look worse and make the car even worth less due to the ugly paint job .

Yeah, wasn't a serious suggestion.

sandy, i think your suggestion would make a marked improvement ha ha

You may be surprised at the improvement in appearence a proper machine cut and polish will give tired paint on an old car. Add to that a few hundred dollars spent on repairing the dings. You may be able to have a much smarter looking car for about $500.
