ok heres the deal, my max has some dings and scratches and i had to bondo the holes where my spoiler used to be before it got ripped off (didnt have the money for a new one). i was wondering if anyone who lives around MA/RI paints and would do just a base coat and clear coat for me just to cover up the scratches and bondo? looking to do it cheap...like $200ish

ive considered maaco's $250 paintjob but if what i hear is correct they absolutely suck.

oh yea and my car is pearl white.

 

I can tell you where to find one in NM/AZ/CO..

 

AZ???Where?

 

Regional forums? Would that make sense?

 

$200 to repaint pearl white? Don't think that's going to happen bud. I beleive the pearl white is a 3 stage job, and to match the existing paint would mean blending it into the rest of the car. Anyone who will do that for $200 will most likely hack it up on you. If the dings and scratches aren't too bad, I would just try finding a pearl white trunk lid and swap it. Leave the rest alone.

 

try northeast regional forums, you'll get more accurate responses... and yeah pearl white is a real pain to reproduce, Kevlo just did his, they talk about it in that thread

 

i dont want a complete new paintjob, just a single coat to make it look better.

and yes, the scratches and such are pretty bad. my rear bumper is a different shade of white too. and on my rear door there is a pretty nice chip that goes right down the the metal. i mean, im not looking for any super awsome paintjob, just something that looks decent so i would beable to sell it for a decent price.

 

I'm guessing you don't know much about auto body. I wasn't talking about a complete paint job. That's why I meantioned blending. I still say that anyone who will do it for $200 will probably make it look worse. Just for kicks, take it to a quality body shop, just for an estimate. You'll see how pricey it really is. Just trying to help.
