Default Got a paint quote

Called a place today and they quoted me 1500-2200 to repaint my red t/a, i am going to have them paint the sail panel, ceta and mirrors black also. Very reputable shop, i am going to stop by on monday after i get done with court and talk to the guys and hopefully have it in the shop monday afternoon.

Just an FYI for those guys asking about paint quotes.

are they going to be removing the bumpers, mirrors, door handles, belt moldings, and the door moldings before they paint it?

sail panel is pointless to have painted unless you replace the whole thing because the bubbles will come back

not true...i'm having my sail panel repainted next week along with a ws6 hood... and my sail panel needs painted due to some white spots in the paint, not the bubbles of the 98-02 cars

Dropped it off this afternoon, they are going to do the underside of the hood, paint the sail panel, mirrors and ceta black, and the area just behind the sail panel between the hatch black. Said it will take about 2 weeks. The clerk guy was all excited to get it done, he said he was going to take some before and after picks. Haha. Should look great when its done. Im probably going to stop by next week and take some pics of it.
