The paint job is really expensive, that's why until now I didn't repaint my car when it was knocked by a motorcyclist 5 years ago, and I've lived with it till now :) <strong>The Giddy Tigress says: Yeah, but I heard that the price for repainting is around there.</strong> Well, it’s certainly a great price to pay, esp it’s not your fault.

Thats horrible. Can you reclaim the cost from your insurance company? They must pay you for that type of accident, no? Anyway, I hope you have figured out something to use as transport means for the time being. <strong>The Giddy Tigress says: I could claim it from insurance, but it is not worth sacrificing my NCD (No Claim Discount) for this repair. We haven't figured out a solution yet....still thinking :)</strong> Oh my. Thats horrible. Can you reclaim the cost from your insurance company? They must pay you for that type of accident, no?

I just had mine done (I banged the front fender until paint scraped off) and it was less than RM500. Even then, the price included banging out the fender again. May I ask, you went directly to your car service centre (as in not a panel beater)? If you did, they usually out-source paintjobs and panel-beating out so they might be taking a cut for it. You could get the side mirror replaced and then send it to some bengkel. A lot more trouble but may be worth the $ saved. <strong>The Giddy Tigress says: Actually, I think many people might have misunderstood me. The RM1800 quoted is for the paint job of the entire car, including banging and knocking. And he's also giving a 1-year warranty on the paint. We figured we might as well paint the whole car because our car has been through quite a lot in the past couple of years. And no, we didn't go to the car service center, instead we visited a center that specializes in knocking and spray painting, one which we had gone to before and are quite familiar with.</strong> A lot to pay for the paint job.

Last time my car also kena like that before when I went for a automated car wash and at the same time i was selling cling wrap for food. So i used the cling wrap to wrap the side mirror. Can last very long leh.....try la <strong>The Giddy Tigress says: Cling wrap huh? I didn't try but I trust what you say la.
