3 stage pearls arnt really suitable for "small repairs" unless they're damaged on a very inconspicuous area of the car ie sill, bottom of door, bumper corner, A panel or similar. If its the middle of a door expect a multi panel repair and a fairly high price tag.

Thanks for the reply,took the car to a main dealer body-shop for a estimate they would need to paint both nearside doors and have the car for four days.£520.00 including £10 a day courtesy car insurance.



In the end i took the car to someone i have used in the past and he improved the the small damaged area by 95% you have to really look to see it now so will live with it for now.



It wasnt about the money for not using the main dealer body-shop but lack of confidence in them.
