Hi all,
Well my 93' Corsa GSI got keyed  below the rear passenger window on the body panel a few weeks ago and I want to get it sorted. I have spoken to a few people and they recommend I take it to get the whole panel re-sprayed by a Body Shop.
Does anybody know if this is a easy/quick job? If it is very expensive?
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
Jay

Price depends on the quality and reputation of the workmapship, where abouts are you? There may be someone local who can recommend somewhere.

I had a full respray, with arches smoothes in and badboy bonnet for £500, think £250-£400 is a bit extreme.
I'd personally say no more than £150 for a descent job round my way.

In London, SW19..
Scratch is pretty deep i think, i have tried a touch up paint which a mate said i should use, but did not work well and would rather pay to get it sorted properly. Plus think there are one or two other small scratches on the panel and if i get the panel done, it will fix the other scratches at the same time.
Colour = Caribic Blue(spelling)
