includes engine bay!
well that is the difference in price I reckon
I am thinking of getting my car resprayed (if I ever do) in tassie
labour is like half what is is here in sydney and you can get better quality jobs for less overall price

Hi,
Ballpark price for a full respray, sans engine-bay, is $5000-$7000. Top dollar gets you the best job, including the clear overcoat for protection. Those are the quotes I got from three different shops in west Sydney. If you want a cheap job that won't last long, or have orange-peel finish, then it's cheaper. If you want concourse type paint job, then expect to fork over about $20,000.
Engine bay adds a lot to the price 'cos they've gotta drop the engine and take as much shit outta the bay and do a fair bit of masking - all that labour is what's costing you.
