Thinking of giving your car a fresh coat of paint? Well, brace yourself for a wallet workout. A basic respray can start around $1,000 to $3,000 AUD for a budget job that might look decent from a distance. If you want show-quality, flawless paintwork, you're looking at $5,000 to $10,000 AUD or more, depending on the size of your vehicle and the prep work needed.
Used car buyers on sites like Tradingpost or CarShowroom might spot a freshly resprayed car with a premium price tag, so it’s sometimes worth the investment. Remember, cheaper jobs often mean corners were cut—think uneven finish or peeling paint in a year or two. Always get a detailed quote from a reputable body shop before handing over your keys.
