Default I need an estimate want to fix this before spring!

IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/642kgi.jpg[/IMG]
this is the scratch on the rear passanger side bumper how much for repaint?

top
front of the fender near bumper

the paint started peeling off the top of the fender this isnt the stock fender and i was aware of it when i bought the car but it started peeling and its seems to weigh less then the left fender so how much for a new right stock fender painted?


ok this is the lil metal piece under the right front door i believe its called the k member but im not sure my little brother hit it when parking, a curb was sticking out supposidly. Its scratched and dented but only near the front right fender. I dunno what to do about it.

I know the damages arent that serious, the most expensive thing i think is gunna be getting the new fender/ paint but i just need an estimate and i dunno if I should go to insurance about it but i want my car lookin new before spring and I was just wondering how much this is gunna run me?
thanx for the help fellas and if you guys know any good places i can bring it to in orange county Ny that would be awesome 2 thanx. The less i have to spend the better

so basically how much is it to paint a fender i found a stock fender on ebay for $200?
How much to paint the rear bumper with the scratches in the pic?
and how much 2 bang out that k member n throw some paint on it so it looks normal?

and should i go thru insurance?

well for starters... that doesnt look like any K member i ever seen, looks more like the rocker panel. your K member is not an exterior part, more so under the car. some call it the engine cradle. and the pics are really really crappy, maybe with better pics others will chime in as i am not knowledged enough in auto body work. gl

Okay I see now. Dude can you drive it? Just take it to some shop and ask them for an estimate. Or call up some shops and tell them how much they would charge. I would guess around 1-3K cause your in NY. e.g. on my brother's 91 lincoln...new bumper and paint was already $700 bucks here in El Paso TX, but State Farm paid for that. Just an idea

Man i'd give you $500 cash in a heartbeat... I wish you were located in Ny. I know its not that damaged its just a new fender, the rocker panel needs 2 be banged out and that little scratch on the back bumper is just scratched on the paint, I wouldn't need whole new bumper...and of course paint for all of these parts, $500 would be right in my budget i just have a feeling that these shops are gunna charge me crazy money... I found a stock fender though so basically im just looking at them to fix the rocker panel and paint the fender/rocker and bumper, im hopin i can get a good price on this... These dumb scratches have been driving me insane. If anyone knows any shops that would do it cheap and do good work in orange county ny lemme know..

alright fellaz i went 2 the body shop to get a quote on them painting a fender which im supplying and a rocker panel that needs 2 get banged out and painted and they quoted me $849 doesn't that seem really high ? I also have scratches on the rear passenger quater panel do you think these can be buffed out or does it need paint also? pic below... I was hoping the whole thing would be 800 dollars...



on the quater panel its just the scratches on the middle the bottom is just dirt can these be buffed out?



its just the scratches on the bottom on this one the car is a lil dirty its been in the garage for the winter
