Repainting your hood?

Repainting your hood?

Whole car!

Whole car!

Why? your car looked great!

[MP81]

If it's anything like what you've mentioned to me before, should look AWESOME!

Meh. It was a 10ft car. There were a lot of things that I wanted fixed from the previous owner. The headlight covers had rock chips all over them, the hood was never prepped before it was painted so you could see the fiberglass, paint was starting to peel on the rear bumper, and what finally made me decide to get it painted - the scratches down the drivers side from when my Mom side swiped it.

If it's anything like what you've mentioned to me before, should look AWESOME!

I wish that was the case. It would be too much work and money to get the door jams and such done for a complete color change. It will most likely end up the same as before.


That being said, does anyone have any recommendations on where to get my car painted? I should be done with the body work in a week or so.

So just going black again or something a little different? Also How much you looking to spend on a paint job. That has a lot to do where to go...

Yeah, it will stay black so I don't have to redo the door jams, engine bay, etc.

I got quotes from two places that were both around the same price:
Body Labor - 50 hrs @ $40 - $2000
Paint Labor - 14 hrs @ $40 - $560
Paint Supplies - 14 hrs @ $23 - $322

That is what made me decide to do the body work. I thought that the paint quote was decent.

[WMCCjames]

$322 for paint supplies is really damn cheap!!

[Schuby87]

Here are some pics from today. Started to attack the dings, dents, and scrapes.

Right to it then! Nice work so far!

Never noticed any of those areas having issues before...
