so moving right along......................................ok the chip will have to be removed with a D.A. going from a corse grit to a finer grit paper feathering the chip, R&I WING IF YOU HAVE ONE, DECK LID FINISH PANEL, LIGHTS, AND NAME PLATE
paying out of your own pocket this should be roughly 500 to 600, now dont forget about labor rates and material cost`s as well
so moving right along.....................a complete paint job to do the job correctly everything should be removed, all sheet metal, glass, bumpers everything off the car so there would be no paint lines and build up of material
going this route will be a much more expensive route and longer route as well, now you talk about having a pearl white do you want a factory pearl white? or a custom pearl white, both ways it is still going to cost you allot of money
on the average for a good complete 5,000 is the average you want fast and shitty quality you will pay for that there are allot of butchers that claim quality but all there doing is makin a quick buck
so just a little insight for ya
any more questions for the overpayed body man feel free to ask
