Yep I'd have said between 250-350 for the bumper and bonnet you could save yourself some money though and prep it yourself!:y:

No Just take off the top surface(laquer), then use bits of filler for any deep scratches. Once that's done and you've rubbed it over again, mask the black trimming off and hand it to the paintshop, it should take a couple of hours with a sanding disk or 4-5 hours approx by hand.:y:

How would i do that? Wet sand the bumper down? would i take i to the primer or all the way down?take the shine of the paint youdont need totake it to primer,soak 400grit wet n dry sand paper in slightly sopay water,until your happy the shine is off the lacquer! but for stone chips you need to flat them out same as scratches aswell which mite take you to the primer or in some cases bare metal,as long as it is smooth and there is no flaws.

you need to investigate the panels in question,or get me some photos pm me them and ill help you further?
