so cleaning off my g like i am always doing a notice 2 deep scratches on my drive side door..its a sedan so ofcoarse its on both drive side doors..from what i can tell its gotta be repainted cuz its pretty deep..anyone repainted with bbc paint..do u think it will match my factory paint well?

 

come on..ive seen a hundred threads where people got there g keyed..someone had to have repainted their doors..did it end up matching ok?

 

What color is the car? Also be sure to take it to a body shop who knows there stuff they will blend it

 

its chromium..its like the metalic greyish silver..how much do u think would be a good price to have both my doors painted on the driver side?

 

If your getting your doors painted on a sedan rip the molding in the middle of the doors for a more sleek look...might as well if your repainting

 

yea f uck what a pain..but i think the sedan has holes under the molding or so i have heard..anyone know of a product that culd fill it in..it is deep but not horrible deep

 

Don't most people get them welded?

 

i was referring to the scratch..i dont plan on taking the side moldings off..i think they look fine
does anyone know of anything that will get rid of some deep scratches or is repainting jus about the only option

 

if they are deep key scratches then you are going to have to get the doors repainted. if u run your finger nail on them and u can feel them then they arent gonna buff out. matching the paint is all up to what body shop u go to. any bodyshop that knows how to mix their paint will get a perfect match. dont go to a crappy place if you are worried about it matching.

 

ok thanks dude..yea by the look of them they deffinatly wont buff out...but i do have a small pin stripe down my g..u dont think the shop will have any problem reapainting the door while keeping the pin stripe right?

 

Ok i am going to tell you what they do.
1 take the door apart(mirror handle and belt molding and side molding) They can paint the door with the side molding on but i would not. The clear builds up on the top side of the molding and will crack later and you will have a dry spot under the molding where it is hard to paint.
2 they will sand out the scratch and prime where the scratch was.
3 depending where the scratches were they might blend the fender and or the quarter.
4 while they are preping the side of your car they will sand off the pin stripe ( if painted on) or peel off the strip( if sticker)
5 tape it up blend the silver out and clear
6 buff any dirt marks out or runs in the clear ( only some cars get runs)
7 put the car back together
8 wash,clean and pinstrip your car ( so dont leave your girls panties in there)
9 give it back to you after you pay

 

clearly you know your sh it simspon..thanks bro i always like knowing what it getting done to my car..anybody kno a good shop in the chicago area??

 

yeah i have worked in the body shop for about 8 years. sorry i cant help out with a good shop in chicago. I would I forgot to say i dont know how your molding are on ( i have not worked on a 4 door) if they are dubble sided tape you can retape the on (never looks like factory hard to get them to sit all the way down) If it has clips you can buy new ones to hold it on. Both ways if they are not to much buy new ones.

Can you post a pic for me to see i might be able to help out with a cheap fix

 

i think they are tape..cuz all my other moldings are taped on..ill try and post a pic tomorrow cuz i gotta go to work now..how much do u think im looking at to get both doors painted on my driver side? i had a guy in chicago repaint my bumper for 250 cuz its got hit in a parking lot and it turned out real good i just duno if i should use him for this cuz with the pin stripe and what not...i just want it to be perrrrrrrrrfect

 

its hard for me to tell you a price i am a good way away from you rates are different just down the street. If i would have to say it should be under 700 im am not saying 700 but it should be under that.
