i want to paint a:

honda del sol parts:

rear bumper
1 fender
2 side skirts
1 lip
1 license plate panel.

i pretty much got all the paint off of it already with paint stripper/sanding. i calculated my cost to be about mayb 200$ for primer/gloss/basecoat from paintscratch.com. would it be about the same price (or a little more) if i got it professionally done?

 

it's gonna be like a lot more than 200 bucks.

 

sounds good ... looks like i'm gonna do it myself. thanks

 

diy....just be wary...the paint will more than likely not match the older oem painted panels

yup, listen to ray. you're better off going to an autobody shop that can match and mix a paint closest to what is on your car. and the 'quote' you got from paintscratch was for materials only, that doesn't cover labor.

 

i know... no labor because i'm doing it myself.

i really want to bring it to an autobody, but i already prepared it for paint myself. if it's around 300$ i would but anything over that is to steep for my blood.

 

what 'prep' have you done? just curious.

 

i'm stripped all the paint from those parts.

the bumper still has original primer...
