my car is looking rather sh**y lately. scratches and dents all over, everyday i find a new one. is it worth geting a full respray ?? im not sure how much it costs and how easy it is to do. been told by a relative he can get it done for 250..
just wanting some advice. should i just get the bad panels reprayed of go for it all ??
also my bonnet is coverd in heat spots and scratches.. im guesing theres no easy way of geting rid of these ??

£250 for a full respray? be careful as it sounds like a quarter of what you should be paying for a good respray, unless hes a good friend.

£250 sounds really cheap..... is that the whole car or just the panels???
i wouldnt get individual panels done as it may look all different shades in the sun light

£250 will get you decent materials only, let alone the labour.
