that sounds like a rip-off to me. the guy i take my truck to wanted $2000
to paint an entire car (toyota station wagon), and he uses premium paint.
i'd shop around a bit before i take that offer. just like surgery, always
get a second (or third) opinion.
there's this one shop here in Miami that specializes on high-end, exotic
cars... the guy wanted $400 to paint my door. the body shop i take my truck
to wanted $180 for the same work and materials.

Subject: DML: Good price for body work?
I'm having some stuff done on my truck, new hood, mirrors, door handles and
shaving the tailgate handle. The hood is going to require some work,
probably about 8 hours to make it perfect and they're going to blend the
fenders and grille to make sure everything matches perfectly, same in the
rear. They quoted me $2600, sound about right for quality work? I don't
want a Maaco job, I want it to look perfect, like it came from the factory
that way. I don't mind paying for quality work, just wondering how this
compares to work that others have had done. Thanks.
