yup def gonna have to repaint the car.

 

If I were you I'd wait until I got the hood and then repaint the whole car. That's what I'm going to do.

 

thats my plan. im kinda scared to ask this...but what is the average price for re-painting a car these days?

 

I've spent up to $10K on paint before without bodywork and just last month I spent thousands just painting half of my 2004 GTO and there was NO bodywork needed. if you want a quality job, you are going to have to pay. if you get quoted $2K you have to realize that they are cutting corners soemwhere, no matter what they tell you. for a proper and complete job they need to that everything off the car that can unbolt (or be taken out, like windows). there really should not be anything left on the car and masked if it can be removed. this is where you will get your biggest price and quality descrepancy
