sound like a fair price for a paint job/ dent removal?

[bradccool]

hey everyone, I have a 87 accord DX sedan it has a few small dents in the back left quarter panel (from drivers seat) and those annoying black bumpers that the DX comes with........, WELL I went to a body shop a few days ago and asked how much it would be to get the dents removed, my emblems shaved *cept for the H* and to get the bumpers and moldings painted the color of the car, he gave me a price of 300$ sounded pretty reasonable so I sent it in to him yesterday, it is currently in the shop I suppost to get it back thursday....... does 300$ sound like a good price? *I will post pictures when I get my car back tommorow!*

[johndej]

yeah, 300 sounds ok for that i think.

That sounds like a fair price. :)

I would've gone to the same place too if I was closer. That's a fair price.

its a good price but lets see how good the work is. Im repainting/pulling dents on my car and just supplies is costing me 350. not including all the labor im putting into it. i hope you did the taping off yourself instead of having them do it. most shops that charge that little will do a horrible job of masking off stuff.

its sounds good...im getting mine done in the spring for around $200 body work rust repair and paint all in one..found a nice little local shop to do it..god i love knowing people..iv been wanting to sell my 3rd gen and get a4th gen for a while but it depends how it turns out..ill probbaly end up keeping it after i get it painted

[bradccool]

well we will find out how the quality of work is today......I am supposed to pick it up at 6:30 today....hope it comes out ok!

[89accord_lxi_coupe]

How did it go? Does it look nice?

[bradccool]

I went by the body shop today and he had it painted and the dents pulled but the paint was still wet, he let me look at it it looked pretty nice, sadly he missed filling one dent, its not that big of one but he missed it :( but I think the awesomness of the whole paint job and the price makes up for it, he painted my mudflaps, I didnt care but I think I am gonna take em off,.......I get my car tommorow at 1:00 and as soon as I get it home I will take a pic and show yall, I was really impressed!

[MrBen]

Yeah do post them! I am doing the same thing eventually. Painted the mudflaps? Wow... don't take them off yet, I want to see!

[bradccool]

[johndej]

[MrBen]
