DaveK 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Just bought a 205 and the bonnet and roof are very faded and the paint has cracked, will T-Cut bring this back to normal or is it a respray job? Im guessing respray as its pretty bad. Its only the roof and bonnet so guessing previous owners just havent polished it and left it in the sun too long Cheers, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205007 12 Posted July 21, 2007 t cut only removes a layer of laquer/or paint to expose fresh stuff underneath looks like that is well past tcut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveK 0 Posted July 21, 2007 yeah kinda thought. £300 quid for bonnet/roof respray you rekon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty_gti 20 Posted July 21, 2007 yeah kinda thought. £300 quid for bonnet/roof respray you rekon? Yeah sounds about right, allthough they might say...'oow thats gonna' be tricky to match'. looks like a fairly straight forward job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205007 12 Posted July 21, 2007 yep as long as they are blending to the wings then its money well spent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edthedrummer 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Sorry to hi-jack the thread, what would be a good estimate to pay for my complete tailgate panel to be resprayed in sorrento green? the laquer peeled and now its left the bare plastic guff shining through in several places.

DaveW 6 Posted July 21, 2007 Dont Tcut that bonnet or you will have polish in the cracks of the paint... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveK 0 Posted July 21, 2007 So am i better leaving the bonnet on for them to spray so they can match/blend it? Saying that i think ill jsut leave the roof on aswell lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted July 21, 2007 yeah leave it on what colour is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted July 21, 2007 looks like more lacquer problems. seems such a shame that Pug paint is so badly affected on 205s - ruined the look of mine too think it'll need flatting back before it can be resprayed; would £300 cover a proper job - ? dunno; i was quoted £800 for roof/tailgate and that was a few years ago; guess prices vary a lot though probably much cheaper to try and source a s/hand bonnet so could save there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mainline 2 1 Cars Posted July 31, 2007 Try retro revival for a sorrento green bonnet, I saw a one hung on the wall last time I was down there......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
