So stupidly I scratched/dented my G the other day. I didn't think it was that bad though, it was that small panel in front of the rear right wheel (about 3x6 in)





There's a bit of wave that has spilled over into the actual full panel, but no paint damage. Anyway I took it to a reputable shop in North Hollywood, but they wanted $1151 to repair it (color match, sand, remove waves, etc). They mentioned they would have to clearcoat the whole panel in addition. I want to get a good job done, but the estimate sounds pretty high. I'm currently in Westside LA, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions on people who could give me a quality paint job without such a steep price? If people agree the price is fair, I'm willing to bite the bullet, but given how bad things are in the economy, just trying to save some cash. Appreciate any help or advice here.

 

thats kinda high but it is a tough spot to do ! its alot of work thats prolly why they quoted you at such a high price

 

that spot is gonna cost you a pretty penny to fix. I was quoted $900, but that was because I was getting other things done. I've heard others pay in the range of about $1000 or more.

 

bring it down to carson and we can give u price r&j is the shop

 

Did you try any PDR guys? The clearbra protected your paint so I would imagine you just need to get the creases out

 

You live in SoCal, of course your getting ripped off....


I was charged $600 to fix a dent in my hood and respray the hood and front bumper two years ago. This is a entire panel repair and respray, so yeah, that's high, but not a rip off.

 

you would think so, but nope. I've asked the guy that eric uses (i forgot his name...mike or something) and he said it can be done.
