Who in greensburg do you know that does paint correction?

Friend of mine owns premier detailing in youngwood

Any Idea On How much he charges.

Any Idea On How much he charges.

Really depends on the condition of the paint. I wanna say he told me it would probably be about 450 to do a full paint correction and ceramic coat the whole car

It looks like they do great work. Might go there to get some chips fixed on my car

I called around to get prices for my fiero before and was shocked by how much it costs to paint a car anymore, one place wanted $10k + 3 months. Thats why I went the plastidip route, I'm considering just buying the stuff I need to paint it myself.

10K sounds like the "go away, I don't wanna do it" price.

I figure for a whole car 3-4K for a decent/good job depending on color, whether you're changing the color, etc.

3000 to 4000 wont get you much

I had close to 1500 into materials
I dropped off a rust free truck, no major damage, fresh out of boxes front clip and was 6000 in labor for all work i had done

Now if you want a quick in and out with cheap materials then yea 3000 to 4000 maybe possible

They had to factor in the insurance increase when the place burned down.

That was my thought

10k for a quailty paint job isnt out of norm, for a beater i wouldnt pay 10k but for something nice


Shops dont make money on overalls they make money on collisions

Premier Detailing. My paint is not in bad enough shape to need a bunch of panels resprayed/blended, otherwise I would have Ryan do them. Just need chips filled and my paint repair game is not up to snuff as I have already sanded through (probably already thin) clear on my car.

Ah. Yeah I'm considering getting my car corrected and ceramic coated once I get my hood painted

[SlowSix]

Update.
So I got some rough ballpark figures from a couple places.
Decided I'm going to have Ryan at Hoffman do it.

Everyone says he is legit, and no one else came even close to what he told me as far as pricing estimate.

Thanks guys.

[Tom]

what all are you getting done?

[SlowSix]

Cowl hood prepped and painted, front bumper cover resprayed.

I will say GIS told me $1600. The collision shoppe told me $1100-1200.
Ryan was considerably less than both.
I have a spot on my rear bumper that needs fixed as well but I figure he would need to see that in person.

Agreed. I had ~$1k in materials for my GTO (8 years ago) and it was a basic scuff/respray over the paint that was on it. If you want show quality on something that needs rust repair/accident damage/color change/needs stripped $8-$10k is about the going rate with top quality products/work.

Complete paint jobs are big $$ these days. A buddy just had his Mopar painted and there was almost $2k in materials. It was a silver blue color to boot. You start getting into reds and pearls it gets real expensive.

Pro Comp in Shaler, across the street from GIS does fantastic work.

Direct Auto in Etna is pretty good also.

I understand there is time that goes into good paint and body work, but I'd have to say for $1600 for a hood and bumper the paint better be FLAWLESS and I better get a handy.

That was my thought as well, lol.
I figured reasonable would be like $500-600 for the hood and 2-$300 to refinish the front bumper cover depending on what kind of prep it needs.

Although I do think some people might be high on the quotes for painting the hood, as they probably get a lot of shitty quality fiberglass hoods that suck to prep. The cervini one I bought looks like it shouldn't need much prep. Couple minor chips in the gel coat but not a big deal

I had one local guy I know tell me that the hood wouldn't match the rest of the car if he painted it.... my inner thoughts said "well I guess you don't know how to paint then" lol

[George C]

Silver doesnt match well with the flop it has..this is why most shops paint a hood then blend into fenders and bumper
