A paint job for cars!

[akampa]

I would like to have my rear bumper resprayed ,I have been to a Toyota dealer and the quote was 4000 baht no dents but a few scratches I`m sure it is on the high side and I was hoping if anyone had any luck with a local spray shop around Hang Dong area.

Will try to explain a route to a really good body and paint man but unfortunately don't have his phone details.

Off 108, past Hang Dong Market and turn right at the top toward Ban Dong. Carry on past back entrance to 'Rungaroon 3' Moo Bahn, then Ban Dong Temple entrance on your left as you bear left into village. Take first right next to a corner shop on your left and you are now in a quite narrow soi. Proceed to the end and turn left into a further narrow soi and then on about 350 m. Next to end place on the right of this soi you will see what looks like a yard with a few vehicles in it. Give him a shout or he will be working in the yard. English no good so need your seat cover with you. I know many who have used him and they praise him to the skies. I pass every day on my bike and have seen a lot of his work which appears excellent to me. Don't know about price but would think reasonable from what i've been told.

1000 baht per panel i was quoted by small body shops and if big company body shops 2000 baht per panel

Body work of any type is very expensive here in LOS..Insurance Jobs bring premium Money but Cash payment to fix a small problem is Pang~~

The Vietnamese Garage off Chang Puek charges B3,000 /panel for body work and respray.

Done good work for me on a couple of occasions.

Soi 2 I think.

I was a panel beater for 12 years before moving here and can say that Toyota do the best work by far here. Their workshops are immaculate. They use top grade 2 pack paints only and always use the oven for top coats.

4,000 baht seems about right for this quality of work.

You get what you pay for (mostly).

Thanks everyone I know you get what you pay for so i`m going to the Toyota dealer down the road.

Are there any recent updates to paint shops for some very minor body work (small dents) and touch up painting? I've been to a few shops and am getting quotes of 15K THB. The g/f went on her own and was getting similar quotes; so far nothing short of 13.5K THB. I may need to paint one side of the car. Surely there must be some cheaper places as I am selling the car and just want to make it look better.

Where is the Vietnamese shop or does anyone have any other ideas other than in Hang Dong? Also what is considered a "panel"? Is that one door, or one front fender, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Strange as a toyota repair I saw happen, was farmed out to the independant repairer on hang dong rd (very good work). That was a couple of year old car still on toyota insurance. Wasnt done in house.

The place I mention also handles ford stuff and did a immaculate job on my wifes ford. Its on the hand dong rd, coming back into town, somewhere closer than cockpit and tesco..

Much better finish than some back street place I used a while back.

EDIT :: No idea on price, both jobs were fully insured and no cost to the person involved. Top quality work IMO tho and precise time estimate and no delays.
