Substancial paint repair costs.

[Freds]

Gents. My Sister has a current model 2015 Toyota Rav4 which some fker has keyed. The only surviving panels are the roof, bonnet and tailgate. It's pearlescent white.
For reasons I won't go in to too much detail over, basically it happened 3 months ago on a previous car so she's considering paying for it. She's moving house over the next three weeks way from the perpetrator, the suspect is her ex, or third part acting on behalf of.
So, before she has a heart attack tomorrow morning when Toyota quote for the work, what is a likely repair cost . Many Thanks in advance.

There are some pathetic people out there

It depends on the body shop for a price. £150 - £200 a panel is about the going rate.

More than that for a 3 stage pearl I would think.

OP let us know what she gets quoted ta.

might be worth looking in to having it wrapped , as a cheaper option

As a painter myself, 3 stage white down both sides I would be charging around £1200-1400 to repair it, if the bumpers also needed doing they would be around £300 each.

£ 1750.00 Chaps. She has a £500 excess were she to claim again so considering the extent of the damage I don't suppose it's too bad. The lad who's doing it has done me some superb jobs in the past, there's no VAT which helps .
