okay so i was driving and texting and ran off the road a bit and brushed asgainst this pole......i went to the gm dealer and they said 750 to fix it..there was no way i was paying that....i then went to a local body shop which was a little wierd at first but then he showed me a nissan murano that they just repaired a dent in and painted and it looked really good... im determind to do this but im not going to say how much the guy told me for my car....i wanna see and get some opinions from you guys on how much you tihnk a job like that would be first.....(pop out the dent, mold it so it matches the other side, and paint)

 

750 sounds right

 

hope everything works out. maybe now you wont text and drive. i watched a show about this a few weeks ago. it said texting and driving was twice as dangerous as driving drunk.

 

750 is a resonable offer for a dealer..cheapest i can see anyone wanting to do the job for would be MAYB 6

 

damn 750? well this guy from this auto body store said it wont cost me more then 200 dollars and that he will guarentee it for life paint & labor

 

QFT. Texting and driving is stupid. Hope you learned your lesson!

 

is your rear rim chipped around the lip or is that just me

 

who txts and drives that just insane








































jk haha

 

200? i dunno if i would go thru with that man. you get what you pay for. it looks like theres already rust in the 2nd pic, to be done right this needs to be grinded down to bare metel pulled out bondo'd and paint the hole body panel, he cant be doing all thatt for 200....

 

yea my rim was messed up...okay this pole inncident happened a while ago and im jus now doing something about it...but when i hit the pole my rim scraped up against it...this is what the rim looked like


it was mostly all on the face of the rim so i just decided to sand it down the best i could and just paint all the rims

he said he wuldnt paint the whole panel...he said he would paint in that general area and blend the paint...then he would put a clearcoat on the whole panel so that it all matches or something like that...he said its a base coat clear coat and not the shitty enamel paint

and yes there is some rust

 

I would charge you $2000 just because of the decals on your window.

 

damn bro

 

 

yeah i was telling you the right way to do it, not a way to do it....and im 99.9999% sure all cars are BC/CC now-a-days, not single stage but i could be wrong

im not tryin to knock you or anything i just dont want to see you get screwed... good luck with the repair and i hope it works out well for you

 

yea well i never even knew of all that single stage enamel and **** lol the guy explained everything to me and now i know how some ppl are gettin paint jobs for 200 bucks....lol i know os many ppl that would tell me they got a paint job for 200 bucks and the guy said yea thats like the shittiest single stage enamel and im lik oh okay....and he showed me a car that was painted with single stage enamel and a car that has BS/CC and there was a HUGE difference so idk it seems legit the manager was nice he said that they have a extremly good painter and that im gettin a lifetime warentee idk it seems alright

 

with body work, you get what you pay for. i saw a sign like this in one of the shops my old 240sx was in. its true.

"cheap paint jobs ain't good and good paint jobs ain't cheap"
