$120 to respray full front bonnet. Suspicious?

[Fivegear]

Hi guys,

Did some calling up on paint spraying companies. One quoted me with just $120 to respray the whole front bonnet. Claimed they have oven and can collect car in evening if send in in the morning. Do you think this is too good to be true?

 

What usually is the market standards for front bonnect respray?

Why not? I got mine did it at S$110 for whole front bumper (although not bonnet). Morning 10am go.. Evening 5.30 get back car.. =) Workshop is at Yishun..

Is the quality of respray good? Think front bonnet is a bit more tricky as it is not same material as bumper. But not sure respray is the same.

tat's std market rate & time. nothing suspicious. put car early, they sort out other cars, free then do urs. follow by polish up a bit. but really use oven anot I dunno.

 

whether respray color the same depend lor. u hv to ask the painter for assurance. confirm with him if not same hv to redo.

Ok. The reason why I asked is because there are also other workshop that quoted $250 and will take 2 days to respray the same. That's why I got confused now. How come such a big difference? One of them happen to be recommended by some of the bros here.

could u pm me the address. I also need to do it this weekend.

thanx

Quality is good.. =) Well.. Bonnet has larger surface area and more straight.. From what I think.. Might be even easier..? Haha..

Sounds pretty normal, I paid $100 to spray my new bumper.

 

Job was done within an hour but I waited left car there for 1/2 day for it to dry properly.

 

Paint used was Nexa Autocolour, shop dismantled my fuel filler cap for to match a new tin of paint.

 

I was told to return after 2wks for polishing.

Bro, different shop, different rates, different quality.

You can spray a whole car for $1,000 plus.

You can also pay $5,000 to spray whole car at top grade painter.

I had paid this price before, seen the result and had no regrets.

[Fivegear]

You mean you paid $120 to respray for the front bonnet before and without regrets? Can pm me which workshop you went to? Thanks.

[Adawang]

er, I mean I paid $5,000 to spray whole car and I

dont regret spending this kind of money for top quality finish.

 

for bonnet, range is 100 plus to 300 depending on where u do

what i mean is, u have to pay more for quality.
