how much to paint the front-end of the car in my sig? If you dont want to go through the link, all I need is the two front fenders and the front bumper in stock Vogue Silver Metallic, I could take the parts off the car and bring them to you or just take the whole car in, whatever would be cheaper/easier. The fenders are already primed

Excellent prices, I'll be contacting you when my new bumper for my S2000 arrives. Also, quick questions, do you have the ability to paint during the colder months ? i know some places don't have the facility to do it. LMK. Thanks

Not to ruin your thread but how can you say you are offering cheap quality work? I won't comment about quality b/c I've never seen your work. Back when I was working for an OEM body shop, it was $35/hr body and $60/hr paint...and...you are offering 10% over your cost of parts? This is back in the day but...either price has really gone up and you are truly offering cheap work or you are trying to get consumer to pay w/o having to go through a shop which offers warranty/free car rental/etc. Are you taking about rated hours or actual hour?

You need to better convince us why we should use your service or you will scare a lot of honda-tech member away w/ the noncompetitive pricing.

first off going rate at a quality body shop with lifetime guarentee is $46-$50per hour. so at $48 a hour a bumper w/ clear times is $282.62 including materials, so $120 + $40-$50 for materials is $160-$170 and i do guarentee the paint will not peel or flake so long and my customers do not hit anything! i stand behind everything i do and have never had a issue. so please next time ask before you assume something. thanks

okay..but you are not saying much differently from what I am saying...read again. I can play the number game w/ you too and make you feel your price is noncompetitive but I feel this is not necessary....as I know people will make their own judgment regardless. Also, auguring over the internet is like winning the special Olympic. Thus, I wish you good luck w/ your business and good day.
