I don't think the estimate by the owner of the car to repair of £11000 is particularly realistic, even if it is painted in Typhoon, and the insurers were more than fair in their settlement offer, especially as the car had been subject to a total loss previously.

That being said, typhoon is still available from specialist paints for £360 a litre. Now he may be unlucky and finds the two shades they offer dont match like i did, bit even in that case 2 litres should do the whole car so that + labour etc would still be nowhere near that quote. Dont know where he went to get that quote, i know the owner on the facebook groups. Tbe insurance company requested he get a quote from a "specialist" they use, probably some approved paint shop and they submitted the £11k quote. I mean did they send him to rolls royce? |

When insurance comes into play body shop prices rocket. I once had a lease Clio that was to be returned. It had a couple of minor body dents and a scrap e which required repair. An ‘approved’ repairer quoted £800 for the insurance job. My local trusted paint shop did the job for £200.
