jonty88 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi everyone, The stone chips on my car have been bugging me for a long time now and a recent scrape on the passenger side bumper has finally put the nail in the coffin for me (or wallet). Can anyone recommend a re spray specialist in the Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire area to carry out a front end re spray? If so what price can I be looking to expect? Will the re spray match up to the rest of the car? Thought I would get your thoughts before choosing a body shop, Thanks guys Quote
Azure350z Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I had a full front end respray (to get rid of stone chips) on my Azure blue 350Z a couple of years ago. I got it done a VW West Bridgford, the quality of the paint work and matching was fantastic and you can't tell it's been sprayed. I paid around £550 including the bonnet, bumper and arches plus blending it in. 1 Quote
jonty88 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Hey mate, thanks for the quick response! 550 sounds good, may I ask why you chose a VW garage? Quote
Sargara Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I've used ST Autobodies in Long Eaton before, Scott is your typical one man operation on an industrial estate unit but hes very genuine and Id happily use him again if the need arises. www.st-autobodies.co.uk/contact-us/ No idea on a price for a 350z though, just pop around with the car and ask him to come out and have a look.

Azure350z Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I chose VW because a mate worked their and so he let me know that they did good work and an exact paint match 1 Quote

Thank for this mate I will contact him and see what he can do for me. Im currently just a little worried whether the paint would match up being black and all.
