Greetings everyone,

I got my G about 4 mths ago and everything was going well, until one day I went to detail the car and discovered a scratch that was under the clear cut and had some of the paint missing. I tried to buff it out but made it worst. Finally I took it for an estimate at a local body shop and they want 800+ to fix. Do you think touch up paint will cover this up or should i look at other shops for estimates? Also is it possible to spray just the affected area or will the whole side have to be painted?

 

i think they have to spray the whole quarter panel... thats probably why it was so high

 

Call your local infiniti dealer. I went down to mine and they gave me a bottle of the touch up paint for my color for free. It's only like 10 bucks anyway. You can't make it any worse, so just touch up the spot a little.

If you don't like it or want it fixed, go to local shops, get a couple estimates, then get it fixed. Or ask around and see if you can find someone who knows someone. Someone threw a rock at my car a few years ago and chipped it up bad. Ended up getting my friend to get me a great deal at his uncles shop.

 

There's a process called Dr.ColorChip they may be able to fix your scratch without spending a bunch of $. Drcolorchip.com or (866) DR CC KIT This should work better than touch up paint from Infiniti, I've used both....

painting that quarter panel shouldnt be more than 500

 

lol ive gotten my whole car painted for $600

 

MAACO ftw?

 

nah maaco doesn't charge that much..

 

Hell no! lol, it was one of my dads friend. I just had to buy the paint

 

Maaco? Biaaatches, I wouldn't go back to maaco even if I had to paint my toaster...bunch of retards that know nothing about painting, they tape your car and spray the **** without even sanding it, crappy job...Go to home depot and get a roller and some sherwin williams paint and you'll do a better job than maaco.

 

LOL... That doesn't even begin to describe how absolutely terrible they are. My cousin got his passenger door re painted after a small wreck and there were literally dried drip runs down the paint. Looked something like this when we got it back:
