Marie, you are not lonely, last year I was planning for a full re-spray but some sad events delayed it.. next year spring I will also change the whole color which wont require washing everyday..
Silver it is then
Often wondered how much a full respray would cost , maybe if the prep work was done first by yourself it would cut down on costs ... an off sanding party
bang on

but will be a different tone and mix..
friday , clit was given to the painter for roof paint as carbonfiber like cover also fade under the sun.. and I'm fed up paying for it everyyear
friday evening, I cleaned the sticky carbonfiber (took 2 hours), sanded the roof alone (3.5 hours) with 320 grid not to scratch anything until I met the original primer.. and I feel pain everywhere now.. besides paints become so expensive that standox 1 kg metallic paint is around 67£

only paint stuff (base coat, final coat, laquer , cleaner thinner and paint thinner,filters , sand papers) cost 110£ (except epoxy)
now for painting costs , sanding the paint and removing the old one is the most tiresome and time consuming part as second hand car buyers here) get thickness measured (mostly) before buying.. and as you can guess this is the part where painters ask for a lot of money..
and they mostly just fade it with sand and paint over the old one.. and preparation involving sanding several coats takes a lot of time so will reduce the costs considerably..
