LSA9K Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Who on here has had there rear arches done - Either sanded down and sprayed or the full works including painting etc? Have they lasted well (I know this depends on the quality of work as well) How much has people paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Body shop I used for my EK said they'd want £250 a side to cut out, replace and paint a rear arch! They give a 3 year guarantee on all their work and are Honda approved, you generally get what you pay for! Should give you a rough idea!

LSA9K Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 That is actually a decent price - Gona call around a few places up my neck of woods and see how I go just looking for peeps general opinions on this not noticed bubbling last night on outside when I was cleaning would imagine getting this done before throwing more money at it would make general sense.

KiNK43 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If you're gonna sand and paint. Chances are it will come back eventually I reckon.if all the offending stuff is cut out and replaced. Painted. Stone chipped underneath etc blah blah. Should be a long lasting repair 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
