I took my car to several reputable shops-
Every one of them was quoting $8500- $10000
So I take my car to one shop that quoted $9000-
I ask how much to repaint the hood and the 1/4 panels-
I am told they will do it for $750-
I ask how much if I just wanted to do the fenders and doors-
I get told $600-
I ask how much for just the roof and trunk- they tell me $800-
They also tell me it will be 3 months to paint the entire car-
but 1 week for each of the above combinations-
So entire car= $9000 and 3 months-
or I can break it up into 3 parts-
1/4 panel/ hood
doors/ front fenders
roof/ trunk
for a total time of 3 weeks (1 week for each combination)
for a total cost of $2150-
Am I missing something here?
Do all shops work like this?
