Nice job! Always nice when you can have access to both sides of a panel.

Nice! I'm getting ready to do something like this to my car on both sides, thanks to some hail damage. It'll be my first time doing something like this, if you don't mind me asking. What paint/body filler/primer/clear do you recommend? I would also have to purchase a gun/compressor, help me! Lol Any tips are appreciated, I just started looking into this

What would a shop charge to do the same thing to my quarter? Ballbark figure...

I tried doing this myself a few years ago. I did not have the tools or knowledge. It did not come out great but was still an improvement over regular damage..

Should've deleted the antenna hole while you're there! I really don't get why GM stopped making the quarter panel for these cars.

Chris,

I did this one for $700. The only reason I did it that cheap was because it was black, no blending.

Thank you for the response. I can handle 700-1000 (my car is black too wish you were in my state). I just can't see myself spending 2k+ on a car that's barely worth 4k.
