My old G40 had a 'free one' :wink: but I think it'll be about £1500 or maybe less, you want to do as much prep as you can to keep the cost down!!!

4paws knows a cheap guy in scotland!

i know a good guy in solihull - he did my wing (dent and spray), eyebrow spoiler and 2 parking dents for 180. don't know what this would translate to for the whole car - depends if you do the whole body or just the outside?

at least a grand - 1500 I reckon for a good "cheap" job. could be 5 grand if you wanted!

where are you based? Chestermans in Reading is also a good service, I hear.

My mate would do it for £500 or so all in (as long as it isn't a mess). He told me I give him the car, he does all the work and I get it back a week or 2 later with fresh paint. Good work too, works for BMW.

I got my black Mk3 squareback resprayed (every panel except the front wings and roof) and it cost £750 :shock: fantastic job looks like a mirror on sunny days and everyone comments how good the bodywork is so my verdict is its well worth the money. the bodyshop also removed any dents and folded the back arches and sealed them for that price. :D
