all i know is 450 is a rip off. around 200 would be fair so 250 should be a good job.

I would go for the £450 garage. But then I could do it myself.

Must be a good wee bit of work to smooth it properly and not a bodge job though.

You need to paint into the roof and the rear quaters. Plus the whole boot needs painting. Thats about £200 odd's work already. Welding over a boot isn't childs play either. It takes a lot to get stuff perfectly flat. You can't comment on how things are expensive before you have acutally done it yourself.

Duhh, misread, thought it was fully smooth not semi smooth. It is on the more expensive end actually.

only the middle part needs to be painted so basically the colour goes in the middle and you laquer all the way up to the edge so your not painting edge to edge!
For £250 we would have a spot on job and we give a 3 year guarantee on all our work!
