Default Body Work Costs

I've been quoted £495 (inc VAT) to re-spray the four bumper corners and touch up a wing on an import I've just bought.

Does that sound about right?

That sounds pretty expensive to me - try around £300 for that.

try around 40 quid for the paint and your own compressor but, yes it does sound very expensive

on that basis can anyone recommend someone to do the work in the Coventry area?

I'd love to do it myself but hand rollering a coat of paint on to my Jeep is about as far as it goes!

When we where main dealers (London) we would have charged £434.75 for that.

10 hours labour at £25, and £120 paint + Gordon Browns bit !
