I just bought at 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe 4WD, 6CYL with 40k for 14,800 with all taxes included.
Colour is silver and my wife is set on a dark blue. Engine is great the ride is fantastic, so I am thinking that we can get 7-10 years out of it, therefore the paintjob is not a bad idea.
Can anyone give me an idea of what to ask from a body shop? I saw other postings and saw the big differences in pricing (1-3.5k). I hoping to pay 2K. How many coats of primer, coats paint do I need? Is one paint manufacturer or one type of paint superior? Only minor door damage and minor scratches on one corner of the bumper.
No other work will be done... so obviously not a show car, but I figure with a nice colour it will turn heads.
I hope you can give me some advice.
