depends on where you go but about £800-£1000
call your local bodyshop and ask as they can give you a more accurate price

st orange would be more expensive because they will have to do door shuts and things, maybe even a bascoat on too,
wereas if doing the same colour then it will only be a case of keying the paint and spraying

Aii matey, if you change the colour of your car like i did, its much more expensive  it was £500 to spray the car the colour it was and to change it black was £1200 and it was my dads mate that did it for me. bodyshops would charge more

I was quoted £2k for a full respray in the same colour (grey) which I thought was expensive I would have expected the price to be around £1-1.5k MAX

Just some advice, when it comes to paint work you get what you pay for. If you get it done for £250 chances are it will be a crap job, spend a grand it will be spot on. I got my sideskirts done on the cheap, after a week the paint started flaking off, get them done properly and they are spot on. Most people will agree

i paid £300 for my full respray (£150 being materials) at the local college in sheffield, 3rd year students did all the work. this including all door shuts boot lid etc etc fully colour coded in carabic blue
certainly value for money as the workmanship is top notch

I wouldn't let any college people touch my car 
I'd go to a proper well established bodyshop and pay the extra

trust me mate, most of the people at college will be better than alot of people in bodyshops, our bodyshop at st helens college is 1st or 2nd in country and we have tutors who have been doing it for 25-30+ years, the tutors only let certain pupils touch a car, the ones they feel will do the job, plus in our college our spray booth is worth something like 35,000-40,000, you can't get a spray booth better

suppsose, but the tutors only let 2nd or 3rd years touch customers cars, they are always watching over us, they will make us leave the car alone if they are not satisfied with our work,
i've been to bodyshops were they had lads in who didn't go college at all and didn't know a bloody thing about what they were doing, i know where i would take my car after seeing that

My friend is a sprayer, he hasnt been to college and he now works at one of the best bodyshops in this area and is totally self taught.
Its not all about how well your taught, some people have the natural talent for it

thats the thing, if you dont have a large number of bodyshops in your area it can be hard to get a job somewhere decent and with a good reputation.
hilly your car doesnt look carabic blue looks more green than blue
