so you're after rust removal with a blowover spray job.

Depends what needs doing mate.. what areas need work, got any pics?

I'm bumping this thread because it's something like what I'm looking for guidance with.

I have a bit of bubbling on my passenger side door, a little rust around one of the rear windows and quite a bit of rust under my boot in the groove behind the bumper.

Anyone know how much it would cost me to have these attended to at a bodyshop?

I know it's down to where you go, but just wondered what anyone else has payed if they have had similar jobs done.

Cheers.

Adam.

what often looks like ''surface'' rust could end up being alot worse than what you first think.. if youre brave enough, then start chipping/sanding away at the rust spots until you get to good metal to see how big the problem is, because of corse, holes will mean welding which means more expensive! For a whole respray and bodywork, then at cheapest you'd be looking at £1,000 upwards from most places! *do it yourself *

Take a look on This site if you have a look at the first topic, its a topic on how to eliminate rust theres a few things on there lost of how to do things hope this helps
