hi i was just wondering how much it would cost to paint a front bumper, drivier side fender, driver side door bottom part, and rear quarter panel?

Thanks for your help

a real paint job....like one that actually matches....

bout $1500-2000.

 

I suggest calling up some paint places and ask for a quote. People on here will only give you speculation regarding something like that.

 

true that.


I can tell you that I had some paint issues a while back. Cost me $2000 to get basically my entire drivers side painted. I'd say that's about equal to what he's getting painted. I didn't do bumpers...but I did put in a new window.

Lots of factors will go into price...

I'd call up Creative Kustoms or other quality paint spots in your area....DO NOT skimp. Mismatched paint is the biggest pains in the butt. Not to mention you run the risk of peals and flakes down the road with low quality paint jobs.

 

what are some good paint shops in the bay area to do this? would it cost less if i did the prep work myself and get it painted?

 

thanks again guys

 

what was that comment all about?

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was thanking the people that helped him...??

 

a lotta people will recommend creative kustoms in downtown SJ, they do great work over there and their customer service is top notch.

yes i was thanking the people who helped me

 

aside from creative kustoms is there other places that are good? I just want to get a list of places so i can compare prices.

 

creative customs is really expensive...i had my old rabbit gti quoted there and it was 6grand....

 

wow that is a lot of money

 

More detail???

Was this for a complete custom job. Color change. Door jams. Trunk. engine bay, whole nine yards??

If so $6000 is about what you'd pay anywhere that does the kind of work CK does. Anything under $4500 and I'd question how good the place is. It takes A TON of time to do that kind of job and do it right...which means the shop looses a lot of those insurance jobs that keep the doors open.

I'd expect to pay that much for a color change. Lowest I got quoted for that was $4200. I got some work done at that shop and it was TERRIBLE.

CK is excellent. They did mine. You can't tell. It's perfect.

 

you can try masters. I don't have experience with them but I know a few folks here used them in the past.
