Bodywork woes.

[Ritchie]

Hi guys, ive been given a quote of a Ԛ£1000 to paint the side bodykit parts (Mtech2 kit), mirrors, replace the top half of the back panel (rotten lip) and replace the scuttle panel (soft at one end) Was thinking this price is a bit silly but i know the guy does a good job. What do you guys think? Anybody know of any good bodyshops around the aberdeen area? Cheers.

If they are going to do a good job thats not that bad!
Is the paint metalic?

Im guessing the scuttle panell is a big job..... so not too bad

I have just had a 2k quote for a respray tech1 kit fitting, and delocking de badging

Its non-metallic (brill red) the side bodykit parts just need painting cos there faded. I think it is a bit expensive even though the scuttle is quite involved. Im gona get a few other quotes and see. Just wanted you guys opinion on the price

Any body shop will charge you AT LEAST Ԛ£40.00 an hour labour, plus the panels and paint etc.
Red is a pain to match because it fades so bad.
I had to touch the arches in on my mates 325 before he sold it and it was a nightmare to blend in!
Thats on top of all the welding you want doing.
Dont cut corners when it comes to bodywork.....itl come back to haunt you.

IMO that sounds about right for the work involved..
