Depending where about in the country in are? I had a Stag resprayed in Bolton, Lancs. for £150 plus vat.
The guy said the more preparation work you do the better the finish would be, so flatted the original paint with wet and dry paper(can't remember what grade - I think 800 and 1600) took off door handles. lights, etc. He also stated that the respray would be only the panels you can see when the car is parked(i.e. not inside doors, engine bay etc.).
The guy then masked off the car and sprayed the car in a low bake oven booth, when I got the car home I waited a week for paint to fully harden that buffed the paint work using a product called G6 (can't remember make!). The results where truly unbelievable! Six years on the car still comes up well with a polish, and that's a car that is used daily and stored under a car port only!
The only downside was the guy did all the local police vehicles, so you had to leave the car with him and he would fit it in around the police work, although I only had to wait a week to get it back.
Let me know if Bolton is within your area and I will see if I can dig out his number. Also still have photo's of when I first got the car home if you like to see the out come.
