$500 a hand to cover it.... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: plastic door trim/RIDICULOUS Body Work Estimate???, Shannon, Wed, 11 Feb 2004 08:28:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Is a rule of thumb I use. Sounds like one hand would cover the paint flaw, but then there's the trim strip. You can't just paint a door, you generally have to blend the color into the other body panels depending on how close it is to the edge. You confused me by saying "both door panels", there's only one door on each side, do you mean multiple panels, door & fender? You don't want a two-tone car in a couple of years.
So by the rule of thumb, $500 a hand, means just about anything is $500 at a good body shop. Don't cheap out, get it done right. Use your insurance.
You could just buy the trim strip and some touch up paint, but your statement that any bodywork at all could be only $200 shows you're not up to speed on the bodywork subject. Get a second estimate.
