Morticia69 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My Landrover Discovery bonnet and a bit on the right wing was gouged by a horse's teeth...believe it or not. The places it is down to the metal and I have been quoted £500 to fill, prime and completely respray and replace the Landrover lettering too! I think this is reasonable but other half thinks I am being ripped off! Any advice guys? Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 How old is the Discovery? If it's an older model second hand parts are probably the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I wouuldn't worry personally, my horses do that kind of stuff regularly as well as kicking the sides too, the old Peugeot partner got the back window kicked in by a high spirited yearling stallion, I just think it adds to the "patina" . Other wise, yes that is about right pricewiseto be honest, there is a lot more topanel work than people tend to think and hence the idea that it is just a £5.99 rattle can out of halfords and job done, far from it!!!

Blanco Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 To fill and fair and etch-prime and paint, (maybe lacquer as well?) £500 is a fair price, I take it the horse doesn't have insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
