Depends on the quality.

Anywhere from $700 for a quick spray over the current paint, to $7000+ for a decent sand back, respray, clearcoat.

It also depends on your location.

depends how well they've been looked after .. if kept out in the sun all the time the paint can get really bad if not polished & waxed regularly..

the paint on my bonnet and fenders is really bad, the clear coat is has gone really dull and matte looking and it is peeling really bad, also have the rust spots in the roof.

I went to a paint shop near where i live and they quoted me $2400 for a complete sandback, removal of rust (the proper way) and respray (including doorjams, and underside of boot lid and bonnet)

Trying to save the cash to get it done now

Did you have to specify how ya want them to remove it or were they already aware of the "propper way" as you call it?

Ok, im in the process of taking out the rusty petrified glue on mine, which has a sunroof, now, does the sunroof subframe have to be welded back in ? i think it can be held by 3 nuts on both sides of it anyway so it looks like it will do fine without welding
