Can anyone give me a rough benchmark price for getting a Coupe bonnet re-sprayed (in original colour, Sprint Blue)?

I looked at getting it re-furbed, stone chips etc but got told it had been 'messed around with' too much previously been T-cutted more than once etc & there wasn't anything he could do with it & didn't want to make it worse, suggested a re-spray.

Also can anyone recomend someone who could do it for a good price in/around the Nuneaton/Coventry/surrounding areas etc etc.

I'm have no means of transporting the bonnet, so will need to either get it collected or take the car & leave it, in which case it will need to be local.

Thanks in advance

I was expecting something of around £150 minimum really for a decent job. I'm not paying anymore than £200 anyway. I'm hoping to get one of my friends uncles who works in the local research garage group to give me a good deal

a litre of paint is £50 add in primer and laquaer and your already near £100. It takes a long time to prepair a bonnet with chips as it has to be feather edged all round.
Add 1 hr to take off bonnet and put back on.
Taking mine off tonight to respray it tomorrow if its not damp

I've just had 2 replacement wings sprayed up & fitted, rear arches done, scratches removed from LE sideskirts & another couple of things = £200 all in

he's also re-furbing my alloys for £140

And he was on it nearly 2 days aswel! - alot of places are struggling & if you know someone, you can get stuff done now for really good prices wink
