dude,if you want to save money-do it yourself.This is the only way to go,when it comes to bodywork,paint.Of course you can take it to maaco and get $250 paintjob,with no bodywork,prepwork, and a lot overspray on your windows.So get yourself bondo,sandpaper and primer.Its not that hard at all,youll get it after a while.Im doing bodywork on my car right now myself,and i never done it before.Trust me-its not that hard.

2700?? how big are the dents???or is LA overpriced like that?

Post by **Twinchy** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 9:33 am

yup it sure is overpriced. thats why i am askin if anyone knows of a hook up or something

2700 is high for a non custom paint job, but it also depends on if they are removing lights, moldings, seals, etc. Removing everything is the best way, but it cost more.

i think they are going to remove everyting

its very easy to remove minor dents and even medium dents with little or no time.... i had some dings and dents in my 240 from hail and and people sitting on the hood, and some fat *** leaned against the rear fender while fueling up and pushed that in.... rubber mallet, plunger, ball pin hammer, and a little bit of the right elbow grease, your hands can be used to if your strong enough and if the dent is big enough.
