How much to spray a mk1 Wing?

Iv cracked my wing and i doubt i will find another in xeros grey! So was wondering how much i would be looking at to get another changed colour?

that much! Do you mean they will need to spray the door aswell?

Yes they will spray the door as well if you want it done well.

trouble is you cannot 100% match the colour and if the new colour finishes on the edge of a panel its almost always very obvious blending through the door makes a much nicer job.

Also think your estimates are quit low, I'd say £100 a good price to paint a wing if it was off the car and hey are simply painting it and handing it back to you. if you expecting them to fit it, stip the bits off the door, paint and blend I'd expect nearer £300.

tbh i was hoping just to give them the wing and get it back sprayed and fit it myself, will it defo need blending or might i get away with it? f**king potholes!

Its pot luck to be honest, although some colours are easier than others.

Its might be worth speaking to the bodyshop as they will have an idea of which colours are easiest to match.

My best friend owns a bodyshop, a number of insurance companies will ask them not to blend the panels, but it doesn't always look great and they are a very good bodyshop

I work in a bodyshop and we certainly wouldn't risk not blending a metallic colour like xeros grey. Bite the bullet and get it done right or it will look sh*t, and as I say a lot on here, cheap bodyshops are not good bodyshops.

what colour is it? grey? definatly blend into the door

you can get away with black and a few other colours but certainly not grey.

then again, the wings are plastic and are always slughtly off shade, if you dont mind it being slightly more off shade just get the wing done, but highly recommended going into the door

Always thought mark 1 wings were metal?

nope plastic.

Would i be able to just get the wing done and then if it doesnt look right get the door blended in? or does it have to be all done at the same time?

best to get it done at the same time so it can be blended in as you spray the wing

Anyone know any decent bodyshops in north london that do a good job for a half decent price?
