Last week took my obsidian black W211 car to local MB approved paint shop to look at some scratches on my boot lid, and whilst there also asked how much to respray my bonnet, due to a few stone chips. They E mailed me the cost this week, and I was shocked. To attempt to polish out the boot lid scratches (no guarantee), and respray the bonnet, £960. Now I am very fussy and want a first class finish, and quite frankly expected prehaps £500 which I would have happily paid, but £960. Could anyone advise to weather these are the type of costs that first class respraying costs these days, Their qoute, involves, removing front bumper, removing and replacing side wing V8 badges, which I assumme is so that the paint is rolled over the wings to blend in?, I thought a black bonnet would be resprayed black with no mis matching, but obviously wrong, seems I may be a little out of touch on these matters.
