Respray costs?
As part of my mission to cut down on water ingress I was looking at resealing my windscreen. Then my thoughts moved onto Treating the windscreen surround to paint refresh. On past results my skills with cans have been mixed so I popped into a local body shop whilst out and about this morning. Was quoted £250 to paint and have the windscreen resealed whilst they were at it.

£250 to have the work carried out by actual professionals who’ve done loads of defenders (showed me his gallery) and not a hamfisted mug who has to look up everything online. I thought that was a fair price? Any thoughts?

Oh and is ithe received wisdom to use genuine windscreen seals only or is an OEM number fine? Given my original leaked from the factory like( many others)I’m not sure the extra £££ The LR part will No doubt command will be worth it...

It cost me £450 to have a brand new bulkhead and a 2nd hand windscreen frame painted a few years ago
Just paid £500 to have both front wings, front grill area and bonnet painted to match the bulkhead.

I had someone quote me £7k for a normal respray on a 90. The landy wasn't that bad to justify that price if I'm honest.

The way they spoke, it seemed they REALLY wanted me to have to pay them if they were to do the job.


Interested if any decent bodyshops who can do it considerably fairer.

You don’t get much for £250 so if they do a good job once the screen is out, it sounds like a bargain Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…
