Ive just had my scoob resprayed (mica green)
I popped into the bodyshop today for a peek
before i pick it up on friday and it looks
as rough as a badgers a**e,these guys are supposed to be s**t hot spray painters,the foreman said it will look much better once
they flatten and polish it,but i dont know
anyone any advice on this please!!!

a very worried Jim http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/confused.gif

Hi James

I wouldn't worry. A paint job looks crap just before it's finished.

I think they have to rub it down before polishing it to get the really smooth finish.

I hope it turns out OK.

Cheers

Is this a full respray? How much is it if you dont mind me asking? I've always fancied
a bright yellow car!

There's a brand spanking new Yellow as you like STI V6 in my local garage.Right up your street once you sell that horrid 22B.

James - dont worry - SdeB is right...just wait till they chuck the blend on at the end - car suddenely very very shiny - is way cool

If not - just refuse it till they get it right.... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

the cost of the total respray is a grand,this includes door mirrors,side skirts

Jim
Why are you getting your Scoob resprayed - Is it a total colour change? What colour was it before ?

Your interestedly

Hi James,

Is it a dealer or an independent body shop?

I'm having trouble finding reputable people who will take on non-insurance work.
