Decided to have my hood repainted
I went to a auto body shop today and got a quote to paint my entire hood Flat black. Once it's painted I will put my hood decals back on but they will be red to match my torch red paint.
The quote was $200.00 I'm going for it. I hope to drop off my hood next week sometime. They said They will put the hood back on my car when I drive their to pick up my hood and the install wil be included in the price. Not bad at all. I got another quote for $450.00 from another place with a fancy website and building. I'm going with the $200.00 quote, their shop was really nice too and clean and it's well in my budget. I'll post a couple pictures when it's finished, without the hood decals and after I put the hood decals on. |

Re: Decided to have my hood repainted
does not sound like a bad quote depending on the quality of paint they are using and how much effort they put into prepping the hood
looking forward to the pics of the final product |

Re: Decided to have my hood repainted
$200 is a good price. Flat black should be less expensive than a normal two stage process because you can do flat black as a single stage. Less materials = less cost. Although flat colors are more challenging because they are more difficult to get even coverage because it shows more.
