£240 inc. VAT to prepare and spray the door and bottom trim. This was a secondhand door that I acquired in the correct colour, so it didn't need much paint, although the trim was the wrong colour and needed more. He spent most of the day on it. As I said above people have different views on Chipsaway - some are good and some not so. On this occasion it was a lot cheaper, and I figured if it did go wrong I'd go back to the bodyshop. Local ones though were very busy at the moment and so not that keen to do the job. To be fair, Gordon was clear that although he was 95% certain he could colour-match exactly he couldn't guarantee it - in the event I can't see any difference. I wouldn't have a problem letting them do the roof as it's all but invisible and doesn't directly but up against any other panels.

Get a few estimates? The chipsaway man will come to you. Other shops will e-mail you an estimate in a few days. All will discuss what needs doing. I agree with you that colour matching shouldn't be a problem on a roof.

Another option is to get the roof wrapped. |

So... after reading that article, Freelanders are not normally prone to this "crows feet" effect, right?

My wifes FL2 has a very small patch on the bonnet that looks like your second photo but not as bad, only notice it when it's clean and light hits it at the right angle.

So, today I've been to the bodyshop for an estimate and have been told that some areas of roof have been re-sprayed previously. Interesting, as I couldn't tell that, but the bodyshop chap could tell by the feel of the paint in places.
