Title: How much to re-spray a mk4 bonnet?
Post by: s600bsb on 10 March 2014, 21:36

Any idea how much it would cost to have a bonnet re-sprayed? The paint is looking faded, but there is no real damage - so probably not much more than a blow over required. I am in West Yorkshire if that makes a difference! Cheers.

it sounds like oxidation, you sure you can't give it a going over with a machine polisher?
I've been to a few body shops in my time, and it's not worth it if it can be fixed, the paint is always going to look off unless it's a very very good body shop and they're going to charge £200+

Last week I had my car machine polished and my paintwork was in a state and it shines like new now and was only 130

What colour? There may be different solutions depending on whether the paint is metallic which would mean that it has a top coat of laquer
