The owners are trying to sell it but everyone was put off by the damage.
£150 is a reasonable price IMO. Usually id book a job like this and start at 8am and finish for 1pmish. Move onto another job for 2 at a similar price and easy money.
If it was another colour like a light silver i would have charged more (£180-200+vat) and blended it into the door....nothing good comes from owning silver cars but added expense. Its a Clubbing Eddy colour. :lol:

Wow amazing good work! I am always fascinated at how well you guys can blend the old colour with the new seamlessly

Fancy quoting me for two new rear arches that have been attacked by rust?!... :scaredtoss:

You need a bodyshop to weld new arches in, fill to shape, blend paint etc etc.
I dont mobile weld. :lol:

As for blending colour. Its easy on 95%.

The other 5% consists of mainly SILVERS (owwww i hate) and the Electric orange Focuss and green ones. :lol:
