DOES ANY1 NO HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO GET MY SAXO SX ALL PAINTED AS THE COLOUR AINT TOO NICE LOL CHEERS.. :lol:

What colour is it now?

 

What colour do you want it?

 

 

 

Bog standard respray can start from 400 but you may have to pay more for a proper job. Depends on the colour you want over its existing one.

 

Painting a black car to silver could be tough.

 

Plus you will need to notify DVLA.

 

You may find a problem shifting it when you come to sell especially if the colour resembles sick/mucus or has black spots or FLOWERS or if the colour is not of Citroen Specification.

 

It works on 1974 VW Beetles for example but not on anything else let alone a Saxo.

 

Not biased against a Saxo as I used to own one.

What Saxo SX have you got. I used to have a V Feb 2000 Saxo 1.4i SX Automatic 5 Dr Posedion blue.

 

Got a C3 SX now

Well, if you re-spray it a different shade of the existing colour, you could get away with that. DVLA don't really go into detail about the colour. Usually it'll come up 'grn' or at the most detailed 'drk grn'.

 

So you could go for an alternative shade, so long as it's generally the same colour. For example 'Iceland Green' (Or whatever that new cabbage looking colour is) could be re-sprayed 'Forest Green' or even the old 'Amazon Green', and you'd still be painting it an official Citroen colour, and you wouldn't have to inform anyone.

 

Think it through. What colour is it now, what colour would you like it to be, what image do you want to give about yourself (if you want lurid pink and yellow I'm not posting here again.) and what would be the easiest way to do it?

 

You could go 2-tone in the same colour, you'd only have to paint part of the car.
