   just quick one peeps. Just wondering what it will cost to have my Posidon blue 98 Saxo VTR resprayed/restored back to its forma glory (just a couple light dents in the bonnet and far side rear wing. So im guessin it wont need a full strip as its going back to the same color but i have no idea tbh.
   
   Anyone no of any spray shops in the southwest, theres none near me.
   Cheers.

   Good answer.
   That's about what it would cost to get me back in a booth, but most garages would charge a little less. Only way to find out is to ask them yourself

   Bonnet & wing would prob cost £400-£600 if the dent can be pulled out! But as said it varies from place to place

   can see it costing that much, guess it depends on the sprayer and how bad they suffer from the credit crunch lol.

   Like i said it , it depends where you go! Mines in a local decent body shop at the moment! Getting door, rear quarter, front bumper, grill, sideskirts and front arches sprayed, also getting side skirts and front arches bonded! Costing £500

    Well if it was for a full spray, then a good job would be around £2000.
    
    Maybe less if you only want some smaller bits doing.

    If I was to do it I would charge £1400 for a saxo, thats to strip it down, repair any panels that needed it, paint and fit back up.
