Inform LTA of change of colour is very easy. Paying for a new paintjob of different colour is not so easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLZT 6th Gear April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 actually, respraying a car is really not necessary unless u kena badly scratched. TS wanna change image mah, its another intention. Bro, I think if you are happy with it, just go ahead and do so, I think Mini looks good in brighter colours as well, must have some country flag too, but then will look abit common.

Jefkking Clutched April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 (edited) Respraying your Mini need to submit / inform LTA prior to work carry out. When respray the exterior of your wheels, the engine bay will have diff colour, pls consider otherwise better leave it as your Mini front grilles designed in such. (try deocrate the front grilled but not install the LED day lights as that's illegal !) Respraying will afffect your pre-owed evaluation report as "VICOM" / "STA" will check the thickness of your paint-work as if you intend to sell-off your car and you'll NOT be getting an "A" BUT "B" and your re-sales values will drop by at least S$ 3K ! In conclusion, not wise at all for re-spraying ! Edited April 16, 2011 by Jefkking 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupecabriolet Clutched April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 how come? no ppl want to do? or very hard to find a nicely done 1? Every workshop give different prices and hence different quality of work. If you are easy going guy, normal standard of paintwork will be acceptable. Expensive workshop have its woes as well, if you are fussy and like to nitpick. Engine bay different colour is of biggest concern to me. So ugly. Second one is, when they spray the inner door panel, your leather and plastic has to be taken out. What if they don't put back properly or damage them? Later have vibration noises etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In conclusion, not wise at all for re-spraying ! You sure Bo? Sounds like nonsense leh... I change colour before 1) after spray Liao, just go online, click car plate n nric, choose primary and secondary colour. Done! Lta informed! 2) dealer has recently seen my car, no mention they must deduct due to colour change. My colour purple. 3) u sell to dealer go sta or vicom for what? And they very reliable meh? And where u get your 3-5k from? Why not 4-6? And if as you say, they check thickness of paint, it means u kena short change or go for cheap workmanship. It is not the change of colur that is the problem Alot of misinformed answers leh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the workmanship good the paint thickness should be the same as they will remove the old paint before spraying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
