Anybody wanna paint a GM fender for me?
I have an '86 Trans Am with Base black paint and I'm replacing a fender on it.
I'm toying with just spray painting with a coat of clear, but if anyone had a gun and some spare GM black paint (Long shot) I would of course pay for your efforts.
Fender is brand new and would need a primer/base + clear.
I'm not sure what a shop would charge me for this (Estimating 300-500) but I would pay 100 or so. Maybe more if it was a fancy backyard operation lol.
Thanks Beyond.

If you can wait until Tuesday, I have a buddy whose an auto body tech that also does paint, he's very reasonable, so I think that 300-400 would be a high estimate personally. He should have lots of gloss black in stock from other projects. I have a spray gun and compressor myself but it's at the farm and I'm back in town, Shitty. I could have brought it back to use.

I know a guy who does odd jobs for extra coin, did the rear bumper on my S13 for $200 which included prep and materials. I'm sure I could get you in touch with him.Originally posted by eglove

To give you and idea, if the car is clean (minor chips and scratches) your looking around 6-7k, thats without door jams, under hood and trunk lid.Originally posted by infected

Body shop quote would be 6-7K easy. When my Wifes truck got keyed the quote for a repaint on both sides (no hood or roof) was $7,800.
It's big money. I get quotes to paint heavy trucks come in at $10-12,000, they're basically a cab and a hood.

That's insane.
Man bodywork and paint is outrageous. I'm looking to take care of some paint and blend in my escape also, anyone do cheap rock guard around the fenders? May just plastidip it lol.

Interesting. On my '67 impala convertible, I have damage to the driver's side door where the side view mirror was originally located. It was temporarily covered but the hail last year punched the spot out. My body man retired before he could finish the job. I'm interested in find out out the cost of getting a piece of metal to seal that spot and painting to match the colour of the car (Bolero Red). The damaged portion is about the size of my fist. Every inch of this car is metal except for this one spot.
I can PM pics to someone or post them if more detailed info is required. I'd like to get an estimate on what such a repair would cost.
