Re: Anyone do Bodywork/Paint?
If you want cheap... Stay with Maaco.. Otherwise plan on spending a couple thousand dollars.
If you want it done correctly, then the shop will replace your 1/4 panel.. Maaco will use bondo.. but what you want done by them will all depend on what you have to pay them..
Good luck!!

Psernally, i wouldn't use bondo on such a big dent. if its a smaller one, then bondo is fine, Do it the right way so you dont regret it later on.

This is why you get full coverage.
So you don't waste your time/ energy/ money fixing the damage.
Your efforts look like crap and it will never be the same again. I'm sorry but that is the truth.

Car will be in my possesion tomorrow, earlier than I thought. Color came out darker than the traditional jade green metallic, but looks flawless regardless. Stay tuned for pics tomorrow, can't wait to see your guys reactions...

I can see where the bondo is... look at the body line from the front fender, across the door and then see how it's not on the quarterpanel... I guess as RC said, everyone has different standards...

if the job was done right, it would look like nothing really happened.
