How long is a piece of string?
Do you want a good job or a cheap job?

A good job would involve a lot more than a quick blow over.

A mobile smart repairer could do the job for reasonable money, but going all out to have it done properly the plastics would more than likely be removed and 2pack primed before painting and clear.

So basicly depends what you want. Demographics also play a big part in the price too. If your in an area with an abundance of bodyshops then rule of thumb is your gonna get it cheaper than if theres only one or two locally.

Best bet is get a couple of prices from bodyshops and smart repairers weigh up the pros and cons and take it from there.

woops, forgot to mention you could attempt it yourself, if you arm yourself with the correct materials and products.
