Re: How much to expect to pay for a nice paint job?
Just to be fair i thought i would bring this thread back up . My daughter wrecked my wifes pathfinder . It only needed a rear bumper cover , no other body damage . I ewent into Maaco and told themi " i wanted a new bumper cover and there best paint job ". I didnt set a price limit , but did tell them I wanted a " better than factory to show quality paint job " They quoted me a price , i didnt set a limit . Took them 5 weeks and it is horrible . All the gaskets ahad ovewr spray and had been wipped down with solvent , so they are dried out and cracking now . Visible orange peel , sags , runs that have been repaired , horrible cut and buff that is spotty . My wifes car has deminished valve due to this . Any " car guy " that looks at this truck will see the over spray on everything . Not happy at all . Night and day difference between my Blck truck and my wives Pathfinder ( which is white and dent free as i bought it new .
Just thought i would be fair in the evaluation of production shops .
I would have been better off just repairing the rear with a new bumper cover paint matched and traded it in with the peeling clear coat . It is worth lees now that it has been repainted then with the clear coat peeling .
