Cost of fixing scores in bodywork.

ScouseMouse · 2016-05-08 10:50:03

Hey guys, I spotted a car on adverts and it looks very nice but it has a deep scratch down one side and a bad score on the other side. The deep score is showing metal so I think its bad. Anyone have any idea what it would cost to fix this damage properly. Photos are on the ad below. Thanks all…

It's not going to polish out, it will need paint so it comes down to how fussy you are. To do it properly could mean painting multiple panels and it'll cost €500++.

But it probably can be localised with a "smart repair" - the kerb scuff, while it looks bad, is down low on the sill and mostly and not in your "line of sight". Many bodyshops will now offer low cost smart repairs for damage like that.

Might be. Hang on in there for a few more hours or maybe try the detailing thread
