some a@@ holes threw some eggs at my car last night when i was waiting for them to drive by so i could pull in my drive.


the egg hit the top corner of my drivers side fender, and took a couple of chips out of my paint and left lots of little cracks


what am i looking at $$ wise to get it re-painted?

by the time i was able to turn around, they were down to the turn of my street and then they dissapeared.

i drove around for 30min trying to find em.

A body shop will want a good $300 to paint and match the panel.

I do body work and charge about $200 or so to do a panel like that. Ask around and you may find a private body man that is decent and will do it cheaper than a shop will.

allright, 3-500 i can afford.
im willing to take the fender off if its cheaper, ill have to go look around on monday.

my parents said honda wanted $800 to do a door.

Yeah most shops will want around $350 per panel. And dealers usually even more.

is it worth paying the extra moneyfor a ford dealer to do the work or will a reputable body shop do as good of work?

i dont want the paint flaking off or anything down the road

I would never take my car to a dealership. You're looking at double or even triple the cost in many cases if you go to a dealership for any work that needs to be done. Take it to a body shop that is reputable.

+1 a dealership will always charge a lot more and probably won't do a paintjob any better than a good reputatable shop that charges much less
