Damn that's a lot to spend on a front-end repaint...makes me wish I had bought a car without a rock-chipped front end Then add to that a new windshield later when I feel like shelling out the $ for that too. At least it doesn't show in pictures

That was the average quote from 2 places that were within ~$200 of each other. My third option is to check with my uncle...he used to do paint and body work for a living and is restoring a Camaro...maybe he could use the money.

What do you guys think? Is it too much or about right?

sounds like my high quote, sometimes if someones too busy they will give you an outragious quote just so they dont have to deal with it, but my quote was for the whole front end for 1100 dollars

just repaint the whole car yourself... single stage or base/clear u can get 2 gallons of base/clear Nason for few hundred with paint to spare

Yeah I am going to talk to my Uncle. It would be more fun helping do my own car anyway. I really can't see dropping that much coin on the front end of my car when I have other things planned.

They said its almost all labor though, mostly sanding and polishing.

Well I'm not sure what to do. My Uncle is busy this summer with 2 projects so that won't work.

$2500 for the front end is what both shops want, which is ridiculous.

Sid Dillion in blair Nebraska does an excellent job and they are very reasonably priced. Talk to Lincoln Tilson hes the body shop manager.
