i went to a dent shop today and they said they will do all the dents plus paint the car for 1200. im thinking of doing it im just concerned i might get the car back worse than i gave it to them.. even though theres not much they can do.. well heres the link to the thread in case someone hasnt seen it..

i say go to second page of that thread to see better pictures the ones on the first page are from a phone..

 

Thats it? It's usually 4-5 grand just for painting it. Will they do the door sills?

1200 barely covered front and rear bumpers for me.

 

Your going to get what you pay for. Are you sure that quote is to paint the whole car and not just blend certain areas?

 

If the body shop is going to drill into any part of the car, RRUUUUUNNNN!! Find a shop that has a gun that welds on a stud and uses a slap hammer to pull the dents. I hope the shop that gave you the $1200 quote does'nt go by the name of MAACO.

 

Run, don't walk from a $1200 paint job!

 

A $1200 paint job won't be a quality job. Maybe not taking care of this car is genetic

 

well they did work on my moms old mercedes and it looked pretty good quality work. im gonna check up on their paint jobs but ive seen their dent work.. and i think they are just filling in the dents as they are only door dents..

 

alright i know im gonna get some racist jokes on this one.. but the name of hte place is filipino auto center.. their old builiding was bought out and they have a new location.. and they did know it was a RX7 and they did say they will have to work on geting the metal to curve.

 

Do it right, when you paint starts to flake off and you have to spend 4000 for a real paint job you will be kicking yourself in the ***.

 

i guess ill just wait when i go to wyotech and go through paint course and ill paint it myself. and do the dents.

 

I just was quoted today for a new paint job, right at 4k. I have seen their work in my shop many times and eye fucked the **** out of it all.....they do quality work and it shows.

I also will get a lifetime warranty on the paint job for any peeling, color changing, etc.

You get what you pay for, and I know what i will be getting and 4k is a steal of a price if you ask me.

 

4,000$ is for a quality job like that with a warrantee..

 

Where in Vegas did you take the car? I had 1 dent in the fender awhile back that cost me $1,400. Paint is one thing you don't want to skimp on.

 

i took it to filipino auto center.. its on wyoming and oakey they used to have a big builiding next to the railroad tracks on oakey. they moved down the street a bit.

 

sounds like they're just gonna cover paint for the dent and faded areas. if they don't cover the whole car (which usually cost 3k+) .. have to watch out for colors not matching from old paint and new paint areas
