GIXXERUK Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 not nice mate, shame it wasnt the front at least you could have took comfort in getting rid of the stone chips pricewise its difficult to say as it depends how good a job you want to pay for eg. having the bumper repaired and blown in or the whole bumper removed and sprayed etc the same with the 1/4 panel , some places would suggest just blowing in the 1/4 panel others may suggest spraying the whole 1/4 and feather it into the door panel to lose the straight edge of the door as mike says try chipsaway, its suprising what they can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzzz... Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have had the other RR quarter panel resprayed to sort out a previous crap job, (260 quid for full panel) and had a roof respray to sort out thin paint and brid crap marks... 200 quid... so i think you are realistically looking at around 250 quid plus bumper scuff 100 quid...if you just walk into a bodyshop... unless you know someone whos got a mate who works in a bodyshop.....

jim Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Tap the dent with a hammer and rub it out with T-Cut. Seriously, I know how you must feel - it's a real sickener when you do something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
