Cost of bonnet respray

[CIS121]

It's been scratched heavily on one side by vandals - down to the primer. Metallic silver. What's the likely cost of getting in resprayed (Weybridge-Kingston area)?

Ouch. Not easy to match.

£342.78

Circa £400. Still trying (a third time) to get mine to match. Would help is Alfa had put the right paint code on the tags.

Have you thought about looking for a replacement from a breakers? You might get lucky and find someone breaking a car with the bonnet intact.

Hi guys,

Thanks. I've spoken to a garage and they said £200 a panel plus £100 for blending the next panel, so £300 seems about right.

Just to update, got it done by Sunbury Coachworks of Hersham. Impeccable job and even washed the car all for £200. Hope I don't have to use them again though!

Yep - Fred Caro seems to be the boss. Great guy and did a stunning job considering the price. I didn't even had to haggle
