Auto paint: the 2008 Mazda RX-8
Auto paint for the 2008 Mazda RX-8: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Stay on the road
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What goes into a quote
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We price the job before we start, never after. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Timing
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
