No offence mate but if you get if done really cheap it will come back rusting in no time or be such a bad paint mach as it will depretiate the value of your car more than the scratch.
Best to spend a few quid on it and get it done properly if you value your car.. if not then do it yourself!! :D

Don't let a man in a van do it if you plan on keeping your car for more than a few months.

Or make sure they can guarantee it in some way (not likely)

As Rob says... You really do get what you pay for. Especially in the refinishing market.

i was in the trade for 12 years and it is true you get what you pay for,there is no such thing as a good cheap body repair you should be looking to pay approx £200 per panel as if the person who does the work values his skills and can lay paint-on £200 is a fair price for the preperation and refinishing of a panel to high standards.
