Paint Sprayer Required
Hi,
I'm looking for a car paint sprayer in the Surrey county that is good/recommended to respray a bonnet (contains stone chips) and front bumper.
Never had this work done before and I don't believe it costs £1500 (according to some garages)
55 plate blue STi
Any recommendations or what I should be paying?

Average price for a proper bodyshop (not a sh*t backstreet one)...
Paint bonnet and bumper and blend through both wings... 7-8 labour hours ish
Repair stonechips on panels - 2-3hours ish
Stripping and rebuilding time - 3 hours ish
New bumper stickers... How ever much they cost you would probably be surprised but say £30
Materials roughly £250...
Average bodyshop say £30 per hour retail rate....
Looking around £650/700 + VAT
There are price who will do it cheaper and places who will charge more, but above is an average cost you should expect to pay for a perfect job. (London prices anyway)

Dont get ripped off! But more importantly, dont take it somewhere who will ruin your car. Theres far more poor bodyshops out there than good ones. Just be careful, if its too cheap theres probably a reason, but ive seen work done by expensive places thats also very poor.
