I unfortunatly had to have my rear bumper resprayed,as someone...my Mum...reversed into me,and badly scraped the paint off the rear right corner.
Anyhow,Astoria Honda did a brilliant job,and the Buran Silver is nice and shiny again.

Looking forward to my cars 1st birthday next week,how time flies...:angel:

You got a dealer to respray it rather than a panel beater? :confused:

Astotia Honda have a body shop,which is naturally Honda approved.

I do have before and after shots...

I don't know, when i needed my front bumper need fix(I hit in my colorbond fence when i reverse from garage)the panelbeater mentiond to change the whole bumper and resprayed cost 900-1000(which recommended panel beater by TRivett HOnda here in Sydney, also recommended by NRMA, AAMI etc)Honda mentioned unpainted bumper cost 600... However they just removed the scratched in my bumper and make it looks nice for free of charge(it looks good) and i didn't bother change the bumper as i may hit again sometimes..

As per Anthony the paint looks same as the factory buron silver metallic paint so thats why they charged 750?

I did not care what it cost,as did not pay,and wanted a perfect job,not just a touch up...and I was not the one paying for it.

I know the reverse sensors required a bit of labour,but I am happy with the end result.

Yeat thats rite, and since the bodyshop is from the dealer you bought the car, i am sure they won't do dodgy job.

Please post before and after done job pictures in this forum.
