Default How much to paint a fender?

How much should it cost for a reputable body shop to color match and paint a front fender?

My friend was backing up and dinged one of my cars.





My above statement was assuming I did the straitening or buy a fiberglass peace.

How much do you think it will cost to drive to a good body shop and have them fix the whole thing?

That's a perfect candidate for paintless dent removal.

is that black?... I wont touch anything for under $150.... you cant tell the accual shape or extent of damage from those pics but I would say between 400 and 600 for a total repair... but if there is a tight market where you live you might be able to get it cheaper...

Paintless dent removal will cost you about $125-$175. You keep the original paint. MUCH better alternative on something like that.

Kinda hard to tell from the pics but I think that might too much damage for that.

It depends on how bad the fender flare is. The guys at my work do amazing things with their PDR tools. At least take it to someone to let them decide.
