doubt it will make much difference, maybe abit knocked off as youv welded it up, but if you give and item to a bodyshop, they will 9 times out of 10 re-prep it themselves as if they just got ahead and spray it and it reacts its there time and money and they become liable.

I payed 250 for a fully smooth boot 3 years ago, its about right, labour of removing it from car, preping part, welding, fillering, smoothing, painting, buffing, puttin part on car! At end of day mate all takes time and time is money

looking at what needs doing, does look about right..

just have to ring aroung for quotes realy first..

and "mobby" 300 for arches and debadging!! will have my car done for about 25 quid, debadging was free just took time, but then theres plastic primer, gloss black, star silver and laquer..

should cost about 25 all in..

Your ok with gloss black but any other colour you will struggle to get a goos laquar finish from a can. And before you start it watch out with star stilver as it is a VERY VERY hard colour to match as it never mind from a can!

I did the door handles star silver on the astra and as soon as i put them up against the car they were totally different

To look at they looked great
