TimShadboltfan27 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Not really the post i want to be making, but may have happened to someone on here.So between last night and 4pm some chutney ferrit poured paint stripper on my car. dont know why, how, or when, i have no clue where to even begin. my guess is some little hoodlum who raided his dads shed and wanted to use some of his meth ingredients is an old 5series e34, luxorbeige colour, no doubt been discontinued and will have to be matched.by the time i had found it, most panel and paint places had shut up shop and too hard to explain over the phone, so im wondering if anyone knows what will be required to fix this.just the quarter panel, or full respray? and any other tasks involved. id assume it needs to be sanded or bogged.if any panel beaters on here have a rough guestimate on the price, that'd be cool. just so i know what im in for. will take it into panel beaters on monday for a proper look but just wanted to know what im dealing with in the mean time.thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 All that will have to come out, then level out and paint. The painter will tell you if he can match a panel or it needs a whole respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimShadboltfan27 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nothing i can really do, neither can the police by the sounds. Got a quote this morning for 280+gst to redo the rear quarter and blend door and bumper etc so not as bad as i thought. Still a shit load of money for a student to pull out of nowhere. Next step is probs a camera somewhere up the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the $ are hard to find when ya have none ya won't get a better quote (if ya did ya wanna ask some questions about quality of the job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M M Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I hate to see sh*t like this. Sorry man. I don't think it would need a full respray but it will need to be blended into surrounding panels such as door and trunk lid. Edit: Just saw post above. All the best getting it sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrock Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 As a general costing insurance co allow $180 per panel that needs no preparation ( scuff mask and paint ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think that will need more than just a scuff or the new paint will never stick. shit goes to the bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonK Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 fuck thats a shit thing to do will just need to remove the affected paint,feather out the edges prime then paint. $280 is a good fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
