Default BODY SHOP ADVICE

Evening All

I`ve rencently bought a STI scoop thats in blue and need it sprayed plus I need a few dents removed/tapped out rather than filling and spraying.

The owner before me must of had heavy hands as the bonnet and boot have closing dents.

I live in Morley which is close to Leeds so anywhere close would be good. Any ideas ??

I`ve neva needed to use a body shop before so if anyone has used someone and has had a good job done then let me know.

I`ve had a price of £120 to do the scoop and Morrettes locally, Is that good or bad.

Cheers

£120 to paint the scoop and morrettes is a fair price to be honest mate.

It's not a bad price, but DO ask whoever is doing it if he will be using a plastic primer and TWO PART paint.

If he says no, walk away.

He'll do the morettes and scoop mail-order for you, but it's more difficult to match without being along side the car. I suspect he's a little far away for you as he's in Leominster
