Color Change: Bronzit to Alpine

[TurboFox93]

I have an 86 325e that is Bronzit. The car's body is in good shape (no rust, good undercoating etc). Would it be cheaper to pick up a rust/accident free shell that is already alpine and respray it, or do a proper color change on my car?

Estimated costs appreciated. Thanks

i have an 89 325i cabrio that is bronzit and i was considering some shade of dark blue. i was planning on a proper respray when i do an engine swap. so info on price and procedure would be be awesome.
