HI MY CAR HAS A FEW RUST BUBBLES ON THE REAR ARCH JUST WONDERED IF ANY OF YOU KNOW ANY GOOD BODY SHOPS IN THE WEST MIDS OR WARWICKSHIRE AREAS ALSO WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL COST ME THERE ARE TWO BUBBLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARCH AND TWO AT THE TOP SO I WOULD THINK THE WHOLE ARCH WILL PROBABLY NEED RESPRAYING AND BLENDING IN TO THE REAR QUARTER THE CAR IS A BASIC RED NOT METALLIC

somewhere between £75 and £2000. In other words impossible to estimate without seeing the car or knowing how long you wish the job to last

And depending on the actual extent of the corrosion - bubbling often signifies perforation of the panel from behind esp on Fords & when its got to that stage you'll find a LOT of the arch just disintegrates if you start working on it - you might need a new arch welding in.
