I need my hood repainted black, becaue i have several scratches on it and it just looks horrible from up close. What should I expect to pay to get it repainted. I dont wanna get ripped off, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

For a shop that knows how to do it right.

Expect $250-500 depending on paint brand.

Generally about $350 for a shade tree painter, like my GF's brother

 

That is done right of course.

 

So just curious, what exactly should I ask for to find out if a shop is going to do a paint job properly? (Vs a shop that doesn't do it right)

 

Find out what steps the shop uses to prepare a car for painting.

Find out what kind of products they use compounds/paint/clears...etc. etc.

Alot in a paintjob is "SKILL". Have you seen some automobiles that roll out of the paintshop? If so...how do they look?

 

check out other work they have done. That will tell you the real story. And don't look at it as soon as it comes out of the shop. Give it a couple of months.
