The paint all over my passenger side door and quarter panel started cracking open all over about a year after I got it. I got some donations from family this christmas to have it taken care of, so I stripped all the paint off the door and quarter. there was some body filler on both...no big deal. I'm across the street from a good body shop, and the dude quoted me 2000 bucks to pop a couple trim pieces off, throw on a little filler, sand it and paint the areas. I said I didnt care about a perfect match and show quality, but he kept insisting on more work than I wanted done. He made it sound like it takes 3 weeks to pop a brake light bezel off and another month to remove the blade seal for the window. Seems some people are far too accustomed to making big bucks off of insurance companies...kinda like doctors. Lou said they were expensive but I almost shat myself when the guy said 2g's and 8 g's for a basic paint job. He suggested I sell it to Lou since I cant justify dropping that much cash on paint. Its seriously not even that much work. So I'm driving right now with no paint on 1 side and embarrassed as hell.
I need something close to work...no drives to L.A. or anything, since this is my daily driver and I have to work. Theres a place in lake forest called carmetics and it seems like they specialize in this sort of repair. Gunna check it out in the morning. Lou suggested this guy named Dick Susag or something like that, but he's no longer in business. Anyone know a local paint/body place that isnt charging breast implant surgery prices for maybe 8 hours of work?
