As has been said you can get a respray for anything from a Grand upwards. My mates body shop has recently completed a colour change on a Porsche and that cost the owner nearly £15k but has taken 3 months and it looks better than new.

The best advice I can give is look at the cars awaiting work outside, if they are all dealer part exchanges awaiting a tart up probably best run a mile. If on the other hand it is all high end and classics you are more likely to get a good job.

You also have to consider how much stuff is going to be removed or masked to do the work? If they are going to mask everything and there is vey little damage to be repaired that will be a lot cheaper than if they are going to remove every door handle, piece of glass and all the trim before repairing a dent in every panel.

Also some body shops will be happy for you to remove trim and bumpers before hand but you will also need to refit it once the work has been done.
