Thats about right.
I got a quote for my landy to be resprayed (only worth R75k), the quote was also R45k. Remember they need to remove trim and sometimes even the doors etc. to do a proper job.

You could always get it wrapped if you want.

Get 3 quotes to make sure the price is consistent... if it's still high try the backyard guys.

You want Crystal White and you are prepared to go backyard?... Don't even think about it, they will fsck your car up.

That's an oxymoron...

Your car will be screwed.

EDIT: bunny beat me to it

Respray an Audi A4 using backyard guys?? If it was some old beetle or something then use backyard guys

I think I will just want a quote to just respray the car to its original color....

No... that was meant as a joke unless you're willing to take the risk.

Your best bet would be to Plastidip the car or wrap it.

Maybe he thought you meant 1 panel.

Why not dip the car instead? It'd probably have much better scratch resistance anyway

Thanks, will explore that option now and decide what to do...

Dipping is a much better option for you, and will probably only set you back about R10k

Why not just have the outside sprayed? If you do that, it'll be much cheaper as they won't need to tear the car apart! Probably around R15k..

and it will knock a huge chunk of value off the car.
