mgf bonnet

Hi All I,m after some info about how much a mgf bonnet would cost to respray ? its Alumina Green any info thanks

Probably £400-£500 depending on what level of professionalism you want.

Why does it need paint?

Wouldn't it be easier to get a S/H bonnet?

thanks yes i agree i have looked at this ,just alot of them have scratches etc

whats the reason for yours needing a respray? and what part of the country are you from?

the bonnet has 2 small dents the size of a pencil and it is a slightly different shade of Alumina Green to the bodywork ,i,m in Letchworth Hertfordshire ....

yes so you could be in the same boat by buying a second hand bonnet...as the shades could vary on those as well....i worked with a guy who did spray painting and he was clever enough that if he bought the correct paint and it didnt match the older panels....he would adjust the colours with other paints he had until he was satisfied with a match.....he was good at it and didnt take him long to adjust......prices could vary a lot depending on where your from and how good a job you want..........its cheaper up north mate....innit

yeah your have a very good point I think its noticeable more to me as it my car ha! I think i will get the dents removed by a mobile person which won,t cost too much and then just leave it ,the plus thing is the fact its an very light colour mgf Alumina Green ,so it isn,t picked up much due to the light A respray is far to much to pay ,and as you say probably get a worse bonnet second hand , so enjoy the car

The only other suggestion but not everyones cup of tea is to use graphics or stripes to cover dents.....if there in the right area you could fill the dents and then hide them with stripes or a graphic

I watched a guy do some car park dings once.

He polished the door where they were then layed a wooden batton so the floor so it reflected in the shiney paintwork then used a long tool to tease the dent out from inside the door.

Perfect dent removed!!

Seemed a bit of a dark art.
