    Good price or not to get hood painted?

    Is $90 a good price to get the hood painted?

    That would be to wipe it down / sand it / fill it / then paint it

    So is that a good price?

    I'm wondering if I could just look around a junk yard and find a maroon hood for cheaper than that. If so that'd be a better choice. I dunno though.

    I would try to go to the junkyard also. The one you get painted will be new fresh paint and not blend in with everything else like a good junkyard hold would.

    with 100 bucks, can't you buy a spray gun and do it your self...it's just the hood right shouldn't be that much of a pain...as long as you kno the method and right paint to use.

    He needs a compressor too.


    $90 isn't bad just for the hood. That is if it is sanding, filling, primer, & paint.

    That is an excellent price to get it sanded, filled, primered and painted. I might just drive clear up there and have them paint my car lol.

    I rear-ended this jackass with a big brake kit and his bumper alone (it cudve been easily fixed with touch up paint) cost me 460 bucks.....asshole
