So I took the wing off my mustang yesterday and it looks sick without it SO i want to get the holes filled in and painted. Went to my local shop where they do really good work
the guy said its going to be between 500-700$ to fill them in because he has to paint the rear fenders and whole trunk lid to get the paint to match perfectly what do u guys think about this im not doing it if it cost that much so i might just leave the holes there because it looks realy good i cant upload pics on the comp but if u want them email me at dirtbike974@aol.com with ur cell number and ill send them to u |
i think that sounds like crap, and it might be cheaper to buy a new decklid than have that guy do it...but i don't know. just my .02
|
500-600 dollars....That must be one of the best damn painters around then. I would have to say that guy noticed you were a kid and is trying to make an extra buck.
|
yeah i was thiknking maybe 200 anyone know of any shops around the ct or ny area that are good
i dont understand y he has to repaint everything |
Not everything needs repainted a good painter can match anything. There are paint mixers that match exactly. Then they can buff out the car for everything to match.

I knew somethign that if im correct used bondo and then touch up paint and that sh*t looks brand new. |
Thats all a body shop is normally gonna do. For real a painter can just paint where the holes are if there even halfway decent.
|
5 dollar push pins :loser:
|
Tell them you don't want the fenders, etc. colormatched.
Remove the decklid, take it to them that way , tell them the paint code, and ask how much. Filling the holes alone is around a $200 job. Painting the lid (including prep) should be 2-300. |
^ they can match the color better if they're looking at the car.... but what do i know... i pay didly for paint :poke:
|
bondo it up yer self...
you can buy a nice paint gun (if ya got a good air compressor) for 50 bucks and buy a quart of paint... a paint touch up like that is really easy if you are confident w/ yer self... you can def get it done much cheaper... yer gonna have to pull the yellow book on this one and take a few rides... Good Luck! |
Why dont you drive around until you find a v6 person with the same color and ask them if they want a spoiler. Just swap it in the parking lot right there.
|
Get yourself some some touchup paint and some pushpins.
|
custom color might be a problem with touch up paint
i have atlantic blue with a special metal flake to it |

theres no reason to paint the fenders to, he's just trying to get extra money. My father and brother have shops in the bronx if you want.
|
alright thanks for the imput guys ima go tomorrow and check out a few more shops
|
Just buy the paint and epoxy type primer and the shop will prolly do it for around 100-125. My uncle is a painter so he's tought me a little about this stuff.
