Scratch Removal Help

Hello,


Need some help! Someone has scratched the driver side door on my Black 520d. It is a bit deep so need repainting I think. Can anyone suggest a relatively cheaper place where I can get this fixed? I live in Peterborough.


Two pictures attached.


Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Kind regards,

Jez

    I reckon that would polish out with some 3M Fast cut plus and a da polisher

    Thanks Steven. It is quite deep though. Whoever did it knew exactly what he was doing :-(

    BMW garage has quoted me £375 for this job which I think is a bit too much.

    £375 is a bit steep find a local recommended spray shop,I would say anything from £120-£190 inc vat is a fair price!

    At the end of the day it's not just the scratch witch will be painted it'll be all the top half of the door.

    Any good sprayer will tell you that,

    And make sure you have a good inspection befor and after because no one likes orange peel paint work!!!

    Good luck

    Thanks Gavin. I went to two places today. One of them quoted same as BMW garage but astonishingly the second one has quoted £80! This was a big garage and several cars were there for body work. But such a low price looks dodgy. Mechanic did say that whole door will be re-painted.

    A bit confused now.

    I will go to another garage for the quote soon.

    Thanks
