Cool Front end respray

Front end of my classic is all stone chips and scratches. Been quoted £350. Thats the bonnet, bumper and both wings re-sprayed and a small dent repaired on the drivers side wing. Does that seem like an ok price?

Seems a bit too cheap to me, have you seen any of their previous work.

£350 is cheap for a front end but a fair price for a good job

geordie terzo
repeat after me "Maindealers are Ripoff merchants!" about £500 would be the retail price for that.

Rolyatescort
£200 for that amount of work tells me that the place is either desperate for work or ****e at the job as there's at least £80- £100 worth of Good Quality piant needed so the paint they must be using has to be ****e IMHO

Thats exactly what I was thinking, last time I did the front end of my car it cost me about 130 in materials alone. Doesnt really leave a lot for the labour .
