Cars in the bodyshop being repaired, i claimeds off some one else so did the good thing and got my car booked in at the most expensive and best known for there perfectionist approach bodyshop i could find, problem is i am having the rear end re-sprayed and while its all being done getting them to smooth the boot thinking i was looking at about £200, however these guys dont do stuff like that, but are gonna do it an they are wanting like over £400, thats way over the odds aint it, i said i was expecting £200 no more than £300 and they pretty much laughed at me!!!
what is the going price

i thought so they said they buy premium paint aint they said for £200 you will get what you pay for, runs in the paint, craks etc, they will do a faultless job, but it seems a bit much, how much should i say

Just leave the boot mate, ive seen pics of your car and its nice the way it was/is.
think of what else you could have for 300 - 400 hundred quid!

the main reason i want it done apart from the fact it looks nice is, when i got my music turned up the boot lock, rear wiper and number plate vibrate, when stood out side the car you can hear a real loud buzzing from them, this will stop that silly i know but i am a perfectionist

Get someone else to do one then get them to paint it with the rest.
Make sure you get the number plate mounted properly (recessed) or it looks wank.
