    Thanks!
    why not forward a photographs as well as confirm the car make and model?

    I got a scrape too, one on the front bumper one on a body panel.

    Anyone got the name/number of this place? PM would be helpful

    vw golf/jetta or Passat? all respray jobs have to be for the complete front wing/front fender

    if hk island, expect HK$5000ish for slight panel beat and respray , if Kowloon, expect HK$4000, if in NT, probably HK$3500-3000

    Err try again.

    The going rate for a single panel repair as lightly damaged as the one pictured,is $1500 ~$2000 per panel. Thats in a proper filtered spray booth with IR heat lamps and the factory paint code used plus clear coat. Kwong hing motor works in Sai Kung charge that much for example.

    Dont pay bunny prices

    bunny prices as in expat prices, sai kung and most of NT prices are quite close, but the cost of hammering out the dent must also be included, thus, a few hundred to a thousand is not unreasonable.
