Full re-spray F355

[Erudite geezer]

My F355 is now 22 years old and needs a full re-spray with a few patches of corrosion to attend to.

Please offer some garages who are best positioned to do this.

What will be the likely cost?

Anyone had this done on a F355 or similar car?

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Everyday Solutions in Southampton, resprayed my 599 and the job was exceptional. They were recommended to me by Notax on here.

Speak to Tim Denney

Mr F355GTS Sir, can you kindly divulge the cost of this work?
Their website says regarding your 599: 'Complete strip down and exterior paintwork in factory rosso fioriano' - was there corrosion on your car that was addressed?

Small amounts of corrosion yes around the buttresses and front edge of the bonnet. Have sent you a pm re price

Thank you for taking time to PM me - that is appreciated.

Did the bodyshop comment on the corrosion that they have remedied? Will the corrosion eventually return, or is the expectation that it has been treated and will be more resistant to corrosion, if looked after?

I have a quote from a body shop which works on mostly classic cars; nothing modern in their workshop or yard.

The quote is for £10,000 and they would require the F355 for several months.

It would be back to bare metal in some places only - my problem areas are around front and rear wheel arches.

Rust would be cut out and replaced with new metal,

Any thoughts? Does price seem reasonable?

Names of other places?
