SupraAyf Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Right guys, I am after a new bonnet (Chargespeed) but how much would it cost to paint? I have the Toyota red (3L2) which is in great condition but could I just order the bonnet; have it painted by someone who has the colour number and then affix it to the car when it arrives at home. Also for the Hampshire guys, does anyone know a good sprayer in the Portsmouth area in the event that the wings need blending. Cheers all, Andrew:thumbs: Failing that has anyone got a nice (non-standard) '3L2' red bonnet for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 do you have any pix of your car please fella, i have just had a mates car in the spray shop for a new bumper but the 3l2 code was a bitch to match, would just like to see the colour on another car.

Jake Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I can recommend Andy at Horndean Accident Repair Centre - opposite Gales Brewery. He did a great job on my grey car when I needed a wing resprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 i paid 120 for my TRD and that was both sides Steve, that was good mate. Was it just round the corner from Portsmouth though! Mind you, after researching this bonnet pricing business over the last few weeks, it seems that a carbon bonnet can some times be much cheaper than a painted one (depends where you go but lots of guys take first or 2nd quotes as we know) - not everyone is a tight arsed .............. like me!!

SupraAyf Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 well you asked for a price I bet that Challenger of yours is cheap to paint. Two tins of nato stock code 2946395-284-272 Sand brown paint and 5 pairs of hands and the job is done! What mods have you put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I charge 550 + VAT for a bonnet paint, including blending wings. I wouldnt recomend doing it without blends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 As Pig said, I took mine to PL Carbodies in Warwick. They charged me £680 for full bonnet respray and blow of rear quarter scratch and mop of the entire car - and that was cash and he said it would otherwise be about £100 more!!! It was stunning when I got it back though - they deal with Lotus' and Prestige Cars. I think Phils precise words were when I dropped it off "Fu*k me that's a big bonnet"! Still, they did an absolutely cracking job. Although Knight Racer quoted £700 for the bonnet, rear quarter and two front wings so I should of gone there but it was a little far away......at the time. I'd go there SupraAyf mate. Good luck. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
