Default Question about paint job

Ok so i wanna get my ta painted car has paint that bubbled on the hood and paint chips on the from number and just a few scratches else where on it. Now would I have to get the whole car repainted or just get those areas fixed about how much would I be looking at for either one because I still wanna keepit the same color.

It all depends on the body shop you go to. When I had my drivers side rear quarter hit, the guy just fixed that area and blended the paint very well....this cost me $450 to fix. I think it might also depend on the color of your car and how worn the rest of the paint is.


This is before the body work:




This is after, you can't even tell anything was wrong:

You're welcome. Black should be easy enough to blend.

It really depends on the condition of the rest of the paint. Chances are if certain areas of the vehicle are bubbling it is likely that the rest of the body will do the same at a later date. The GM black is actually tinted from the factory so it is not necessarily just a "straight" black, although with this in mind it is still not necessary to blend.

Well as it sits it's just on the hood and the front bumber the paint flakes off and just a few small scratches here and there about how much would I be looking at?

I had my front bumper repainted and there is no way to tell whatsoever. And I am very very picky with my car.

for the hood and bumper, $6-800 if you don't get it blended into the fenders
