   depends in the quaility of the finish mate.
   
   i would have said £80-£120. i paid £100 for mine redoing but that was the full bumper and it was about 5 months ago.
   
   prices vary from area to area and the times of the year.

   yeah but the difference is you are paying that at a bodyshop because they have loads of overheads they have to pay. I would be doing it in my own unit meaning i only have to cover rent and my wages so i can afford to do it at £70..
   
   no difference in quality, if anything you will get a better finish from a one man band because they spend more time on that one job and 90% of your work comes from word of mouth so the better job you do the more work you get

    tbh materials would cost me £40 so £70 is making nothing really, i would take it on if i had the chance to fit it in a day when i was working on a larger job but not being funny - £30 is not worth getting out of bed for these days...
