I need to get my NA6 resprayed as the original white paint is in pretty poor condition. Does anyone have any idea how much im looking at for a respray. I plan on keeping the car for ages so want to get a good job done.

Thanks

How long is a piece of string?

I'm sure some of us here could do it for you for a carton of beer. Mightn't be the best job.

You could take it to a repairer who deals primarily in Euro exotics - you'll pay lots.

One guy here did a repaint for $40 DIY - brilliant job and I do mean it.

As a ballpark you could be looking between $2K-$5K - but it all depends on how much prep work is required, and how much you can do yourself.

Here is a link to the $40 paint job

A good job would cost about $2-2.5k, assuming that your existing paint is a good base for the new coat.

If it's been sprayed poorly a few times, then more work has to be done to rub the paint back, and that increases costs.

I had my Luce done recently for $4k, but it's a full-sized car with lots of chrome trim, etc. From my conversations with the shop it seemed like $2-2.5k would be about right for the MX5.
