Paint quote

[DomP182]

I've been thinking of having my flame red 172 tidied up had a quote of £500 to have my front bumper, bonnet and wings as well as the cup spoiler resprayed. Does this sound a realistic amount for this kind of work?

 

[JamesBryan]

Sounds cheap to me.

Decent job up here would be close to £300 for just a bumper.

 

[DomP182]

Yeah seems pretty good to me and he has come recommended to me by a friend who's used him but I'll question him as to whether that is a bumper off job rather than a dodgy masking up effort.

 

[Mbeau]

Sounds pretty cheap to me too! Good if someone you know has recommended them. Not the easiest of colours either flame red.

 

[Jekyll]

I'd think it would be double that and some.

As @JamesBryan said, £300 for the bumper alone is a realistic price.

 

[DomP182]

Thanks chaps, I'm beginning to worry about this now. Great if it's a good job at that price, less good if it comes back looking more of a harlequin than it does already.

Get the spoiler done first to see how good he is.

That's a good plan mate!

For that. He’s not taking the bumper and bonnet to bare finish which is super important to a good job and longevity. On a Clio size from end, I would be nearer 800+. Bumper will have so many indentations from stone chips it takes time to get right.

OK, I'll see what his intentions were otherwise its £500 wasted

Depending where you are , I cant reccomend JC paint enough , great price and the paint match is brilliant

 

[DomP182]

Cheers mate, not a bad price that. The guy who did my spoiler had a hell of a game as my paint is quite faded on the roof, I really would like to get the front end done but I'm concerned it will look worse than what's there already

 

[CrippsCorner]

I got my bumper repaired and completely stripped back, and grill too, and they fit a splitter to it... £450 all in I think it was and really good job.

 

[Stay Puft]

Is £400 a fair quote for front and rear bumper scuffs on quarters to be fixed and painted?

 

[Gally]

I think it's cheap. Ask him if the bumpers are being removed and the trims taking off or is it smart repair front and back.

It’s on the car. Just want it to be a decent enough job as i’m planning to sell it asap.

In fairness there is a job for everyone out there. It just depends what you want.
