to get a perfect colour match they'd probably respray the whole side of the car also. Depends on the colour and state of the damage. Although the car is a relatively new model (dunno how old yours is) - any new paint will have a slightly different look to the original

I reckon ?150 ish - but depends where you go.

just had two panels re-sprayed on mine, now the door has the orginal paint still on it (glacier white) and the new paint looks more darker than the door :(

you think t-cut will help to sort that out? or is respraying the door to the only option?

cheers

Have they used the corretc paint? as noramly when spraying in white it comes out the other way around,newer panel looking brighter,etc..

To stop this they use a methode of ageing the paint to look the same,but seing as yours is the other way round im not sure what you can do but respray the hole side..

[LukeManic]

maybe they used to much method of ageing? t-cut not a good idea then?

scott can i also take this chance to say: your car is gorgeous :P

[Aragorn]

they might be able to flat it back with 2000grit and then mop it again

I used to work in a bodyshop and i reckon the whole door would get sprayed at a cost of about ?130 if whatever colour is a solid or about 160-175 if its a matalic!!!
