Body repairs

[kiwifraser]

Looking for some advice here please.

I have a new bumper (from Gareth H) in primer which I need painted Silver for the Monaro after a ding in the weekend.

I don't really have a clue how much it should be, so any insight from those in the know as to what I should expect to pay would be very much appreciated!

Can anyone recommend a good paint shop near Ascot/ Slough/ Bracknell/ Bagshot/ Maidenhead/ etc?

Cheers

I have just been quoted £150 to get my gts bumper painted in black just to give you some idea

Thats cheap... mind you with the new water based paint they do dont pay to much as it will chip off very easy compared to your orriginal factory paint!

thought all new bumpers came in the standard basic silver colour anyway, looks like it does

A bit of trouble, but go to your local fast and furious stylee motor factors (NOT HALFRAUDS!) and ask them who comes in regularly to buy one off coloured paints/special finishes/laquer by the boatload etc... and you've probably found your man.
Will be more than half the price of a dealer no doubt......

I found a friend of a friend who was that man.

Cost me £80 inclusive of paint for a one off oddysey blue mix on a rear boot spoiler.

HTH!

Nice idea! I have a couple of numbers so far depending on the quotes I get, I might just try this.

Fraser, there is a guy close to us who does small repairs very reasonably, would you like me to give him a call?
