Due to a poor paint job by a less than professional body shop about 4 years ago, the metallic lacquer on my Windsor Blue B5 Passat is peeling from the paintwork.

(I have been told that the lacquer should be applied before the paint is dry but that this particular bodyshop must have allowed the paint to dry before applying the lacquer)

I am being quoted between £200 and £395 for the bonnet to be rubbed down and the paint and lacquer to be re-applied.

I would be very grateful if members could advise if this seems an appropriate cost for the work involved.

Many thanks.
