Steelblue E36 Build Thread
-
Clean it up with some fine steel wool and some rubbing/polishing compound? Nice score, cant go wrong with any Dinan stuff
That is tomorrows project!
-
Yea something that size is probably $250 - $300. Take the whole car if possible so they can match the existing paint.

I paid a local buddy $300 to prep, paint, and clear my E90 bumper.

If any of these places are little ma and pa shops it couldn't hurt to ask if there is a cash price.

I'm going to be stopping at 2 smaller shops this afternoon. I'll definitely ask if there is a cash price. My overall goal is to get a price under 250$ probably won't happen but doesn't hurt to try.

Some times the cheapest one isn't always the best, but sometimes it is. Just be prepared. Sometime the most expensive isn't the best.

Post on FB. I know there was a guy that was a "traveling" painter that did awesome touch up work. In the worse case you can go to macco LOL

A coworker of mine knows the guy you owns the Maaco in New Berlin and they do fantastic paint work. It is the second largest grossing Maaco in the nation. They do all the dealership cars around the area as well. Just because it says Maaco, doesn't mean its always a $500 paint job.

Yeah I see nothing wrong with Macco to get a panel painted. My only problem is the nearest one is about an hour away.

Thats the same Maaco that fucked me over. I PERSONALLY Removed all the trim, headlights, door handles etc, so they wouldn't fuck up....guess the paint job didn't include prepping the car. Sprayed right over dirt, dust, and salt.
No hope for humanity.

No hope for humanity.You are correct on assuming a cheap maaco paint job does not include any prep. You MUST specify everything you want them to do if you want a better than maaco spray job. Their main business is cheap paint jobs, that's why.
