My car has chips all over the front. The previous owner did alot of highway driving i guess. Anyways i had it estimated and Portland Auto said it would cost be $1200 to have the bumper cover, hood, and right front quarter panel painted (those are the areas with chips). In addition the spoiler i just got is gonna be $145 and the front liip is gonna be another $145. Does that sound like too much? All the other shops i have gone to have refused to paint the lip and wing

 

1200 cdn i assume... that does seem high. I would shop around.

depends on the quality of the paint job... shop around

 

yea thats high i got paint and body work estimated for 13000 for the whole car .

 

my brother got his entire car painted py for $1400 and he had his moldings shaved antenna shaved spoiler holes shaved and it turned out beautiful

1200 seems high

 

145 for the wing and another 145 for the lip is really expensive

 

so i get its way overpriced, now how much should it cost to have those parts painted (on average)?

 

Just for reference, I had both of my bumpers resprayed as well as all of my side moldings for around 300 Canadian, from the best body shop in the area.

I got a deal, it should have cost about 600 from them, I believe...
Just for reference.
