Title: re-spray
Post by rich1 on Feb 20^th, 2009, 8:09pm

does anyone have any idea what a re-spray on a scorpio estate would cost?, was giving mine a real good clean today a noticed quite a few scratches on the bonnet, tried T-CUT but no good , you dont really notice them un less you really look , would keep the same colour . and does any one know someone who does it (east london , essex area)
cheers rich

I had a Sierra resprayed about 14 yrs ago and it cost £600 then - dread to think what it would cost now :-/
Depends what sort of a job you want - a quick cheap job might cost you just a couple of hundred if you do the prep work, a decent job could easily run to a couple of grand.

i sort of guessed around that , any ideas on what to do/use to clean my bonnet up , they look like very light scratches , swirly marks , like a cat has been sitting on it. is there a specialist sort of scratch remover anyone can recommend???

I would be very tempted to try a couple of cans of spray paint and see how it turns out. Most Ford colours can be bought on ebay for about £3 per can - Hycote brand - I've used them before, about 3 cans to paint a Scorpio rear bumper.

Not really much to lose.

Couldn't you just get the bonnet sprayed ? the bloke who helps me with my vehicles would charge I reckon about £175.00,and depending on the amount of repairs,round about a grand for a complete job.
