Title: How much for respray of rear door?
Post by: jamesh72 on April 22, 2010, 10:33:14 am: Hi,
not had the car that long, and when I bought it, it looked fine (it was overcast). However, in bright sunlight, I can see three distinct stripes where some scratches have been sprayed over.
The car is silver (ed30), and the stripes are lighter than the rest and it annoys me, as the rest if the car looks great.

They're on the passenger rear door, at the bottom near the wheel arch, and actually go onto the arch.

Any ideas on cost? Would they respray the whole door, or just the bottom half (its beneath the plastic strips that run along the door).?

I've been quoted Â£250 for my brothers front bumper and bonnet re-spraying, if thats any help.
