NE Painters

Well I need some paint done. I need my front overfenders, rear widefenders painted, and the front bumper sprayed. I would prefer a trusted body shop, rather then someone personal. Ive had bad luck with personal jobs in the past, and to just put it out there, trusting people is becoming very hard these days. A local shop wanted $730, I would like to get it done for abour 400-500. Looking for PA, and MD shops

Yeah, I'd go with the 730 estimate. With paint and so forth, like roy said you get what you pay for. And most professional shops will provide a warranty against paint defect with their quoted price.

Unless you can deal with a substandard job and fish eyes in the paint.

I'm fully planning on paying a shop 3k+ for a full repaint, prep work, pulling dents and warranty.

well 3k for a full job is acutally great. my panels arent that big, and im not looking for show quality pain. I would like the fenders to look like the car some paint, and clear coat. I just want the front black.
