Default How much to paint a bonnet?

Not looking for factory perfection, just a "good" job.

Have heard prices banded around the £100 mark per panel?

Also, getting alloys refurbed, what would be the cost on that?

Wheels refurbed are usualy about £60 a rim

Bonnet would be about £100/£150

Hi Mark

Looking round, it seems that it might be a lot more as the colour would need to be blended into the wings etc.

Its only a few small rust circles in the middle of the bonnet about the size of your little fingernail (not that I know the size of that, but generally )

Just didnt know if there would be an easier way to get them done, maybe there is?
