So six months ago my car got hit by a couple of teenagers driving by with a baseball bat. 13 days in the shop and Thousands later it is fixed.(BTW never caught them)

Today my neighbor who moved in 4 days ago backed into my parked car. Here's some pics. I'm gonna go get a quote, but b/c all shops around are now closed I have to wait tomorrow. What do you guys think it will cost?

Mind you

99 GS300-Pearl White







Closest guess wins(Pictures don't do it justice.)

Blending that pearl white color is a bee auch. Be sure the shop uses the correct shade (there are 7 for that paint code alone) and doesn't give you some nonsense about blending it.

$1500 if the door/hinge isn't affected, if it is, $3000

Are you sure? When I had my fender repainted it cost about $400 alone.

It will be well over a thousand. Probably into the thousand(s). The baseball bat was a one swing drive-by striking the rear windshield and moulding around it. It cost $2600 for paint and labor alone!(900+ for the windshield) The shop that I used last time blended the paint into the door, roof, deck lid, gas cap and rear quarter, My guess is they will do the same accept for this time doing the fender, quarter, door, and hood. Is this the correct way to paint my car?

Thank you in advance,

someone need's to stop being such a *****. atleast the the woman that hit your car didnt take out your hood because then that wouldve cost extra $$$. my es got hit about a year ago and because of the crash my hood is now a little distorted. i know, my life is terrible. but bricoop, i would take this oppurtunity to get to know this female, maybe she'll be your next wife. who knows.

$300? that's cheap man, never heard you can get a half a car painted for 300 buks. i got my front bumper and hood repainted from stone chips and scratches for a $1000. if they did a good job on your car than you got one heck of a deal man!
