Should i get a respray?

[CupraTgirl]

I have done a few searches and cant seem to find anything that directly answers my question

I have loads of stone chips on my bonnet, wings and front bumper and 'orange peely' side skirts and was wondering if there was anything i could do to help these?

I dont really want to have to use touch up paint so im thinking that a respray is the best option

If that is the best idea does anyone know what a reasonable price is to respray the front end? What about good places to get it done as i really dont want 'orange peel', i dont mind travelling if it means getting a good job done?

just go to a few local garages and get a quote .. or see what your local dealer recommends, i wouldnt want 2 use a touch up stick! the only problem is whether the front end if completely resprayed will match the rest of the car ..

Yeah exactly but to be honest its no worth getting the whole care resprayed is it?

 

[Neel-Cupra]

yeah true .. just get a quote and take it from there, its gonna be risky either way but i would risk having the front end completely sprayed .. is it really bad?

I dont know what you would class as 'really bad?'

Its just noticeable probably partly because i know they are there and its a black car!

It looks so good when i wax it but there is just a few too many white dots for my liking

Ok i just asked a fellow SCN member who has seen my car what they think about how bad they are on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being mint and 10 being )

She said 6!

i have a few on mine too .. around jus wear the bonnet dips at the front, but also near the fog lights and bottom of the bumper, but mine being red isnt that noticable .. if its bugging you get it sorted rite away ..

[CupraTgirl]

[Georgie]

[CupraTgirl]

[CupraTgirl]

[CupraTgirl]

Dont know if it helps, but to give you a ball park cost, my local bodyshop is charging me £200 to paint the bonnet and wings blend, with me supplying the paint, and to fit a spray the side skirts for £180, its a Leon but costs shouldnt be too different for your Ibiza
