I wanted to get mine painted because the previous owner had shitty body work done with really shitty paint.

That is a lot of money to dump on a paint job...but I bet it looks so good in person.

i was thinking the same.mine just have minor dings on it to look really close to notice them.the only major thing is the front bumper is cracked maybe 3 or 4 inches wide

thats around the price you'll be paying to get dings and dents repaired and to paint repaint the whole car. Inner door jams and outer.

did u repaint to a diff color?

Paintless dent repair for dings, Then get the bumper refinished. Shouldn't be more then $600.

for both bumpers? no blend with the paint with metallic/pearl in it? But yeah if you can do paintless dent repair, then that would be best, saves money. But sometimes the dent will not be out perfectly you can still see the dips but thats if u have like black color. But yeah for the other guys comment above, it should be about the same price just alittle more because you have to seal it primer it and then paint it. Plus kits are usually bigger. But yeah. You get wat you pay for.

As the saying goes....you get what you pay for! My body of my car car is perfect without a bump or ripple on her, yea, it was expensive, but my car is my only hobby, so why not enjoy it!
