Paint work

Stephen · 2007-02-03 16:01:42

I feel like a complete idiot. I scraped my rear wheel arch against a wall this afternoon when reversing, and now its got some ugly looking scratches (one or two of which go pretty deep) and a dent. Have a look at the attached pic - what do you think this will cost to get fixed? I reckon the dents can be easily pushed back…

Have a look at the attached pic - what do you think this will cost to get fixed? I reckon the dents can be easily pushed back out, but the paint damage looks nasty to me. It looked way, way worse before I cleaned a load of white paint that was just sitting on the surface off.

Car is a 2002 Hyundai Coupe.

I done something almost identical a while back, except bigger scrapes, ended up costing me €450 to put right again.

A person did something like that to my grandfathers passat.

It cost €250. The person who did the damage was one of those rare sorts who left a note
