Its hard to quote a respray job without acctually seeing the damage because the key may have left an indent in the metal and needs more work to fix. If its just a light-ish scratch on th hood your looking at $400 for a good colour matched respray... dunno about the rest

People who do these sort of things shit me.

PM me if you want to know how it can be fixed for nothing.

You might even be able to make abit on the side.

Nothing illegal....ffs....I mean you didn't scratch it or pay some one to do it.(Hoping not).

No-one is injured,you still have your car.

Cheers.

sorry to hear that man... these f*krs should be whipped in public like those kids in singapore like 10 years ago... i hate f*krs like that.. anyways... there are mobile paint repairers who specialise in chips and scratches and are usually cheaper then a respray and usualy quality work... i think some of them give free quotes so might be worth checking out... check in yellow pages and maybe google it as well... good luck...

Hearing shit like this drives me nuts. is the current paint faided at all? cos resprays can be a **** if thats the case. id recommend u drop ur insurance policy, its hardly worth it with a 1k excess LOl! unless your doing alot of drifting or somehting.. best bet wud be to just take it to a respray joint and get it quoted.

The paintless dent repair guys can work wonders - even on keyed paint work. Have a look at their website, and give them a call - they'll come out and give you a free quote, and tell you if its beyond their scope. But using touch up paint, and cutting and polishing, key marks can be repaired without a respray.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
