Bonnet respray - price?

[NickXX]

Hi all,

I got a bit too enthusiastic with a Karscher and am now missing a fairly good chunk of lacquer from my bonnet. How much should I expect to pay to fix this? Will it be a full bonnet respray or can the clear coat be reapplied?

With a full bonnet respray will I be looking at blending too?

Many thanks,

Nick

please tell me that's not from the M3..

Any chance of just getting lacquer sprayed on or is this not possible?

Can be done but you need mad skillz to blend it so that it's an invisible repair. The base will need to be spotted in too, that's not such a big deal to blend though. General technique for this would be to spot in the base then reclear the whole panel. A muppet (relatively speaking) could do the latter, whereas the former is a much more skilled job hence the price difference won't be huge.

That sounds good, I'd rather have them do that as I'd hate to have a mismatching bonnet. Is this a colour that's particularly hard to match? How much would you expect to pay for the full respray?

Oh cool, would be ideal if they don't blend. I will shop about for quotes.
