Anyone know any decently priced places to paint my FD...maaco quoted $3200

preferably somewhere around Seattle Renton area

 

Price range?

 

Anything below Macaos quote I suppose

 

^what color is it,the factory red is a 3 stage paint,so is the yellow,may very well be why they want so much because it can't be done in single stage,which you don't want anyway.a good paint job isn't going to be cheap.

 

Cheap paint jobs look like what they are...

 

Oh no...I understand that lol. I was ready to pay the 3k for Macao but I was just seeing if anyone else knew of anything out there

 

lol 3K thats why i have been reluctant to paint anything...

 

hate to say it, but that sounds about average for the NW. That being said, save a little more up and get find a GOOD body shop, poke around on the Porsche forums or any other similarly super high end car forums as they tend to be picky about good body shops and can usually direct you to one that will give you a decent price for quality work.

 

What if you have dents on body, will paint job cover it or you have to pay to fix the dents and dings before painting?

 

new paint will not fill dents.

 

Depending on how mine turns out I may have a reference for you. Complete car FB with body work for around 2.

 

Oooo let me know on that one!

 

Nice to hear they are doing good work. I'm going to most likely get mine done there as well. silver/black. I really need to find someone to do some fiberglass repair. I have a hood that's got the corners messed up and a couple cracks on it.

 

I have a guy up here in the north end that does awesome work. Usually done by estimate but I would imagine it's way cheaper. Definitely worth checking out at least.

 

Info?

 

Just check out "oversteer motorsports"

 

lol I have been looking at pricing on a good panels off paint job and was finding closer to 6-10

 

Panels don't need to come off unless they need to be replaced or worked from the back side first.

 

cool thanks! so what do folks quote for a quality paint job on the fd then?
