    A full car respray in Luton sits at the top of the price range, generally around Free estimate upwards depending on the size of the car, the colour and how much preparation the bodywork needs. Single-panel resprays cost far less and start much nearer £85, which is why most customers only respray the panels that need it and blend into the rest. Hardings Accident Repair Centre sprays in a low-bake oven using paint mixed to your car's own code. Call 01582 477 801 or bring the car in for a free written respray quote.
