I've got an A4 Avant in metallic green which has had some oaintwork done on the N/S at some point in it's life.
It appears to have had the rear quarter and both doors done with the wing blown in (badly!).

If I was looking to get it reprinted, what kind of prices should I expect to be paying?

I've no idea about bodywork costs so thought I'd check here to get a rough guide before I start going round getting quotes.

It's just oaintwork that needs done, no body repairs.

I'm not sure what they've done but the paint just appears dull like it's not been lacquered properly or something like that.

I'm not looking for anything spectacular, just something that will match with the rest of the car. I was Hopi for a price of £5-600 or so.

I think I'll have to just try a couple of body shops for prices and if it's too expensive, it'll stay as it is!

It's not unknown for clear to go dull after a while.It's amazing what a good machine polishing can achieve.Might be worth a try before you go to the expense of having it resprayed.
I thought that was the case initially when I bough the car but after a good clean it appears to be badly painted rather than just dulled paintwork.
It almost looks as if the paintwork's been done but they've not lacquered it, it's got a very dull sheen to it rather than the glassy reflection that the other side has.
