How much to paint front end stone chips 997
Discussion
Hi Guys,
What do you think is a fair price to paint the front end of my 997 in white. its got the usual stone chips to bumper, 1 wing and bonnet.
If I had it done in a none approved Porsche body shop do you think I would need to provide a guarantee if I sold the car in the future?
Thanks in advance

Cheers guys I've had a price for £1300 from an approved Bodyshop but they are the only one in wales so I think they are charging what they want. Although this price was via email and they did say it would more than likely be cheaper if I take the car to them to see.
Its not that bad really the bumper is the worse . I've seen a few cars though with just the bumper painted and I can always notice the colour difference so Id rather get all the front done.
Maybe worth getting some quotes from other brand approved shops and play them a bit.

Check if your 997 gas any corrosion under the bonnet latch. If so, thus should be remedied under the OPC corrosion warranty. This issue is recognised by Porsche & most approved bodyshops get a certain amount to repair.
If so, get the front end repainted at the sane time as the corrosion repair & you may only be looking at circa £500 contribution from the OPC bodyshop to get the front end done.
This is what I may do with my 987, already spoken to the OPC bodyshop & they seem happy with the situation.

Might want a comparison quote from Brin Jones in Bristol, very good when I dealt with them.Its not that bad really the bumper is the worse . I've seen a few cars though with just the bumper painted and I can always notice the colour difference so Id rather get all the front done.

The guys who I use are super high quality, they are based in Nottinghamshire.
I'd advise you go to recommended paint shops only and take a visit and look at what cars they are working on. If they are working on high quality and classic cars you can near enough nail that they are a good repair shop.
I had bumper, bonnet, wings, mirrors and pillars sprayed on my metallic blue E92 M3 for £600, the work was brilliant. Good paint shop guys are hard to find, I've had some awful work done by so called approved shops!
keep shopping, don't pay £1300!

The name of the company is Bary Roberts run by Father and son (Chris) they are based on Aurlic Way industrial estate in Retford Nottinghamshire. I found them when the local body shop who used to reovate Ferrari's closed down. As always I was parenoid as hell when I dropped my first car off to be touched up, but they did an amazing job and at the right price. They are currently painting a 1992 Defender for me, again I have no worries of the quality of work they will do.
