It's more that proper paint takes a fair bit of prep and that's easier to achieve when your not sat on the side of the road under a pop up tent . And then time, many products require fairly specific timing between coats, again not easily achieved by the side of the road. Not saying it can't be done, but imo I would say that's too much damage for a road side operation to do well. If it was a boggo model then maybe acceptable but if it's a vxr, worth getting done right.
Would expect it to be in a body shop for 3 -4 days, £250-350 + south east tax if that's where you live.
thanks, @brickman - are you saying that a bricks and motar specialist place would likely be able to do a better/longer lasting job?
A friend did it to the car so looking to get some quotes so she can decide to either pay or claim on her insurance.
