    8000 to do bonnet and boot? Sprayed in gold?

    300 is pretty cheap, what kind of quality would you be looking at I guess. I'd keep shopping around, ask as many shops as you can in your local area.

    300 is a good price, but for me, thats a price I'd look at and start wondering whether they'd do things half assed or not.

    Smash repairs/ Panel Beaters.. Same thing.

    Well it'll more than likely cost a fair whack more to completely change the colour compared to just doing the bonnet and boot.
