depends on what needs doing to it.
if its dented to f**k then yea, it can be a right pain in the ass.
if its just a colour change then no, piece of piss

dents on bonnets can be a pain in the ass, a small dent can turn into a nightmare trying to feather it back and back and back.
if you wanna give it a go then do it, worst case scenario, you need a new bonnet

FM-696 - What do you have to do in terms of prep work if the bodywork is dent free? I've been told of a local place who can do a respray for a good price if I were to do the prep work myself but tbh I don't know anything about that sort of thing and want to find out exactly what I would have to do.

hows the paintwork on the car?
few ways you can do it.
easiest way would be to just get a sander and either P320 or P400 the lot of the car, then go around the edges with a grey scotchbrite.
alternatively you could wetflat the whole car with P800/P1000 or P1200 which would take a while.
or if the paintwork is immaculate, you could just give the entire car a grey scotchbrite.
myself ide sand the lot down with P320 on a da
what you been quoted btw?

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I've not spoken to the guy myself but through a friend I've been told he can get them done for £300 and I've heard good things about the guys work.
Time wise how long would you say it should take someone to do what you were suggesting?
The car was actually resprayed about a year ago before I bought it but the laquer is peeling in some places and I'm just generally not too happy with it so I'm just considering a respray as an option.
Btw, would the procedure be any different if I wanted to go for a colour change or would it just be the same?

MK2 PH2 & E46 330
whered you find that? I could ask the guy that did my tailgate for you btw.
Its a guy just up the road from me, I need to find out more details first though to confirm what I've been told.
Who did your tailgate btw?
MK2 PH2 & E46 330
funnily enough, someone just up the road from you! haha.
Guy called Matt does most of the paint side of things, but his brother Dave does alot too. They do the work at their garage in a mansion of a house, but theyve possibly just bought a warehouse now. Good guys with insane cars. One has an RX, the other an evo, and theyr also doing a 200sx drift project i think.
It's very possibly the same guys were on about.
Company is called Enhanced Bodystyling.

yea we do mask n paints for £300 too.
same procedure, just where its flaking, really give it a good sand and feather it back as far as it needs to go, you may find it feathers in very quickly, or you could find yourself feathering back into the middle of a panel.
i prepped a range rover today which we had to put right, it had gone in to the dealer for them to do a repair on the side, they did the repair (piss poor) and blew into the front door.
the blow in was paethetic, it was just a solid line of colour pretty much. i tried to feather that back and it was just ripping back further and further, ended up just sanding the lot of it off.
for a full respray, your looking at 2-3 days.
if you want it prepped aswell its a week job.
Punto/Clio GTT
tbh i dont think the gaffer would take on a proper full colour change unless the bloke was paying very very well.
too much hassle.
plus we dont have the facilities to drop the engine out, or have a mechanic to put it all back together lol
Punto/Clio GTT
it aint that bad. ide just drop the engine out and mask brake lines etc, take off the doors and tailgate.
prep the inside of the engine bay, prep the door appatures, prep the tailgate appature, prep the boot floor, prep the inside of the doors while theyre off and prep the inside of the tailgate. then spray all that.
refit the doors/tailgate/engine and then its just a normal respray and can be masked up as normal
Punto/Clio GTT
never heard of a mask & blast? hmm
you just worked in insurance approved bodyshops doing insurance work or something?
weve had loads in different bodyshops where someones prepped it then they just need it painting.
if the repairs s**t its not your problem, you just gotta paint it for them

Never really done a great deal of insurance work as its all about bouns and no one can be bothered to pump out a decent product.If you had a decent reputation you would never think of wrecking it if you painted some ones car and gave it back with a dent in it they would not be happy even if they did prep it.I could never look at a job that i painted and say thats not my problem.
Punto/Clio GTT
i got pride in my work, but i also have a child to feed.
if someone comes into the shop and says to me that the car is prepped and they just want it painted.. i aint gonna start f**king about with filler if they are happy with it am i? its costing me money and its coming out of my pocket.
TBh i only had 1 car that was poorly prepped, which was a nova, we painted it and it looked alright, the guy was over the moon. cost him £200.
