    I was told about $400 if the colour is a common one and there are no dents to be removed. Slightly cheaper if you remove the bonnet and leave it with them for a few days so they can use leftover paint from another job....which is why its cheaper with a common colour.

    i had a look into it, i was told $350 with a couple of deep scratches to be taken out at the very front (which is my reason for wanting it sprayed). but i have put off doing it for two reasons, one is my panel beater said its extremely common to get a stone chip, etc, within a couple of weeks of doing it which will just make you really pissed off...the second is im thinking of getting a bonnet with a BA gt falcon bonnet bulge, still undecided.

    Probably not......I replied as I usually look at posts that have had no replies to see if I can help. Once you get the first reply you will find that more people will look at the reply as well as the original post because its at the top of the thread list and add some more and then sometimes it starts an avalanche. Thats the way I see it.

    around the $500 mark sounds reasonable, this includes removing dints and going back bear metal.

    I got my car full resprayed, stone chips are unavoidable for a car thats used everyday, got to live with it.
