Depends on a number of things - how much prep is needed, type of finish you want etc. I've recently been quoted £200 for a solid colour overspray of a body that needs very little prep (no dings or buckle rash) or £250 if I wanted the old finish to be stripped first. Best thing would be to find a local luthier and discuss with them. There's a list of recommended luthiers on BC here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654[/url]

Got a quote from [url="http://aceofsprays.co.uk/"]these guys[/url] for a trashed warlock body I had stripped and sanded:

[quote]Hi Oli, thanks for your enquiry.
To sort the body and finish off any repair work, 2k primer (high build) and paint in prety much any straight or metallic colour would be in the region of £150.
To do the same but with the steal/rusty look would be in the region of £250, it has several proceses and takes a fair while longer, this look also gets a Mat finish.
Hope this sounds ok.
Cheers
Ace

Thanks guys, I will go through these to see if I should or shouldn't do a refin.
