someone put a nice scratch through my rear passenger door which i want fixed. I also want to colour code my door handles.

Can anyone recommend a good spray painter / panel beater in brisbane.

What should i expect to pay for this? $200-250 for the door? $50 each for the handles?

thanks guys

if i had my spray booth in action I could of helped you out.
how deep is the scratch?

Price sounds right for the door but should be a little cheaper for the handles.

fair enough. if it has not gone into the base coat it should be relatively cheap then. All they will do is lightly sand it. clear coat and buff. about 2 - 3 hours work max.

look at it in day light, the factory primer that is used will be a flat black colour.

can you catch your fingernail on the scratch? If it only lightly catches, chances are it can be machine buffed out.

depends what part of brissie you are but john at affordable body works in lawnton (northside) did my paint job he's privately owned so you pay a bit less and he's good
