While driving today I had a tire blow out at about 60 mph. The tread literally kicked my cars ***. I know the back bumper and the quarter panel, all the way to behind the drivers side door, got banged up pretty bad. I tore some of the side skirt off. The tail lamp is broken but I've already found another one. The trunk got it a little, too. The brake dust shield got caught up with the tire and locked up for about 2 seconds, but came free again. Part of the fender well got torn too but I can weld that back.

The body is kinda rough though so after all that I get to my point. The car needs a paint job anyway. I'm not really sure how much it costs though. I want to shop around but basically I want to know what a fair price is so I know I'm not gonna get ripped. The body is the only thing I don't like about it. The interior looks really good, but the seats have a hint of turning that green color like they do. The fabric has no holes or tears anywhere. I've spent some time on it. I want it the same color it is now, or used to be anyway. It doesn't have to be the best in the world, but i don't want junk.

So HT, what's a fair price for a paintjob. I'm in East TN by the way.


Thanks

 

said it once ill say it again do it yourself

 

just paint or the whole body work with all the part?(ie lens, quarter,etc)

just paint you are looking at almost 800-1000 for DBC/chromabase paint BC/CC

 

I may have a person or two who paint who could spray it. I guess I'm going to do the body work starting right after the new year. I've read a good bit about it but I haven't done any myself, so any tips are great.


Thanks
