neron198x 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Hi Guys I got a quote for painting carbon fibre bonnet and I was wondering if people who painted their bonnets could give me an idea whether it is expensive or if they don't mind could give me the price they paid. I am getting my front bumper sorted as well as its scratched and I am removing the registration holder at the same time and holes patches. I was quoted for all 1000 pounds. What do you think guys is it ok price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinT 514 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Try to find a body/paint shop that does subcontract work for the dealership. Cheaper, but they do good quality work and get the correctly matched paint for the job. 1 neron198x reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ignited 24 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Does the Ford dealership have their own spray booth? Probably not I would guess. Some dealerships have mobile paint sprayers visit and spray the cars for them (often in the car park) so they are no doubt taking a nice mark up. I would check out the mobile guys local to you for the best prices. A fair bit of my MR2 has been painted this way! 1 neron198x reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
