Before anyone whines, I did search...

I have a 99EX coupe with some minor damage. Some drunken fool backed into my car and ruined my right rear quarter panel, so I'm going to remove it, buy a new one, and re-weld it. (I have a Syncrowave 350, and I know how to use it.) If I buy "exact matches" off paintscratch.com for my car's color and month, how much should I expect to have my front plastic bumper, hood, and that quarter panel repainted? Just in labor costs, if I bring my own paint, and someone will do it.

Thanks.

 

I might be wrong but Im pretty sure that quarter panel is not welded on. Its glued on.

 

Can anyone confirm this? Everyone else said that it's welded on. I haven't had the time to nondestructively pull off the moulding to look....but I think that glue can become weak over time, even the stuff that Honda uses.

it has spot welds.

 

Alright man. YES you were right, Honda quarter panels are welded on with spot welds about ever 2 inches or so i would say. I am not sure about the 04, and 05 models but a 99 is deffinatally welded on because i replaced one at work before on 99 SI. Now for the paint, I would estimate that it would be around 400.00 for the hood , front bumper, and quarter panel, including blending, and this depends on where you go. At the most bro, i wouldnt spend over 600.00 for the whole job and wet sand and buffing. Good luck and if you have any other questions let me know! Peace
