Sounds too high to me. I'd expect £300 max for a top job

As a guide, I spray my own cars, and using the best DuPont products the cost for materials would be £65 at the very utmost, factor in an extra £35 (which is excessive!) for facilities/staff if this is a professional bodyshop.

£300 is a lot of labour!

And I just paid only £100 to have my new rear bumper sprayed.

Definately high end of the scale though, where abouts do you live? I would get a few more quotes and then get back to them, could probably get them down to £200 for it really imo. :happy2:
