Rough Estimates

[Ben]

Ok so the story goes...

I had just parked up at work last night when my mate who just pased his test two days earlier drove in in his fiesta, went to park in the space next to me...

i thought to myself:

"My he is getting a little close"

Then i realised he had crashed into me Got out had a quick scoot around, down the rear wing and back corner of bumper was scuffed and scratched down to the base. He said sorry etc and i said its fine etc, he said he would pay for it to get fixed...

Today i decided to try and polish it up etc and see if i couldnt sort the wing myself at least, polished it... brilliant, wet and dried it down a tiny amount then when to laquer it....but i picked up the primer didnt i? Oh well an hour later still no better but im going to see a few people on monday to get prices..Anyone have any rough ideas how much it will be to get fixed? No dints or out, just paint damage. I mean rough as in £50 or £500 type thing/..

I think if you are wanting the panels resprayed you would be looking at, at least a couple of hundred. Couldn't really say a definite price as bodyshops vary in price so much. From the pics it doesn't really look as if it could be touched up, meaning the whole or the majority of the panel will require respraying. I have NEARLY done that will laquer and primer a few times also. Always best to keep them seperate lol.

theyre in exactly the same tins, only myself to blame for not reading properly as i was in such a hurry, im expecting around £200. Im gonna have a pop around on Monday and see some contacts - it was going brilliant untill i put the stupid primer on

Just keep at it mate. If you take you time and do it good (and don't use the wrong tin) you will get it nice, and also get a good feeling for doing it yourself.
