I got an estimate for $600.00 to paint my hood, a new Cobra bumper and both fenders, I thought that was pretty good considering I got two other estimates between $800-900.

 

is that at maaco?

I work in body shops every day and just for a hood alone is usually in the 400-500 range, I would expect $1000 + for the whole front end of the car

 

600 bucks sounds to good to be true..You really need to make sure it's a reputable shop. If I'm not mistaken, the paint alone would cost 300- 500 bucks..

 

I have seen there work and they do a good job. It's funny the main painter is a woman.

 

I hear you.. I gave the guy who painted my car my oem bumper, fogs and hood all I had to pay for was the cost of the paint which cost around 300 bucks. They did a good job and couldn't be more satisfied. See below..

 

Soldier your car looks great!! I'm guessing the metal-flake paints are harder to paint as that was the first words out of their mouth's....."it's the color"

 

if you have seen his work and would be happy with it, go for it! thats a steal and maybe he's just giving you a good deal

 

Lol! No, it's not Maaco.

 

Well, I am going to order my bumper this week. So we'll know in a couple weeks how good it looks. I will post picks when it's done.

 

awesome, that setup will look badass
