R34_Wong Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Do it right and get the bonnet resprayed. Where abouts are you located? If you're in Melbourne, give DT Panels a call.

34GeeTeeTee Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yep, respray... Mine has been littered with chips from Putty Rd and there is no other way but a respray, so i would imagine yours is the same? You dont need the whole car done if its just the bonnet as they should be able to match it!

Azsnakes Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm guessing respray would be at the $1500-$2000 ? It's black if that helps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/403597-help-bad-stone-chips/#findComment-6420624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR-N1 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ballpark figure of $500 for a Respray Has the bonnet been painted before albeit in an amateurish way? It's a wonder that the front bar doesn't need a spray too eh?

Sinista32 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 $600 a panel has been my experience. $400ea front / rear bar. That includes fixing minor panel damage. Up to $10,000 for whole car windows out and door/sills. Underside boot, bonnet. and engine bay if your motors out.
