Question will this front arch need a complete respray?

or can a guy like chips away blend it in nicely for me or wil it all need to be sprayed? someone reversed into me yesterday and put a small dent in the wing as well! of course they are paying cash for it!

Remove the arch trim and respray it off the panel. The dent in the wing can probably be pulled out. Easy job by the looks of it

Well you could mask off all the wing etc tho it would be so much easier to just do it off the car

could do, its just a nightmare to get the kit to sit flush with the wing again, it was so annoying doing my rear arches when some bastard keyed my car!

they would mask the wing of repair then basicly localise the colour so it doest go to near edges with adjacent panels to save chances of missmatch then laquer the whole wing, looks like a £100 job to me.
