so i ATTEMPTED to do a good job on the painting today and made a horrible mess of things
I think the only way to fix it is going to be a full respray, but can't afford that for now
Does anyone know how much i'd be looking at to get a respray done and could i minimise the cost by doing the sanding and stuff myself?

depends where you go. some places wont like that you've done your own prep, others won't mind at all, and that'll be a cheaper job for you. I reckon 2K is the absolute minimum for a proper decent job, most probably at a smash repair place, providing you've done all the prep yourself, & it's just an ext spray. But it really depends on the sprayer, the only way to really tell is to go around and get quotes yourself, with your car. I could be way off! [it's happened before..]

post some pics of your spraying attempt, perhaps we can help fix, or rectify the problem.

2K is a absolute min for a basic job, Jarred. For a decent job you're looking at 4K min.
I paid 2.5K which came back as Okay job, that was what I really wanted to pay, and I did all the sanding. filling.. etc You'll see the result in VW nat.

I have no direct experience with re-spray, but from my research it can cost many thousands, depending on the quality you're after, how much pre- and post- work you're willing to do yourself, bare metal re-spray or not etc etc.

might be an idea to drop into your local tafe, if your after a decent job for cheap many of them will be looking for cars for the students to work on. turns out alot cheaper but keep in mind alot of it is luck with the student you get spraying it...
