im getting a new hood and i need it painted. anyone know how much it will be around to paint?

 

Ask your body shop. Prices vary.

 

ok thanks.

 

/thread

 

it depends on a myriad of factors. expect to pay 400+ for a quality paint job, assuming the color isn't one of the harder ones to match properly.

 

its just the normal red color so i dont think it will be hard to match

 

I need to get mine repainted at some point to cover all the ****ing rock chips. '07-'08 hoods are rock magnets.

 

im getting a new replacement hood cause i bought the car and it had a hood scope on it already and i dont like it so i have to get the replacement put on and painted.

 

Was it a functional or ornamental hood scoop?

 

about 400

 

functional. it made my car extremely loud lol to the point sometimes its annoying. i got a good deal on the car so i figured i could replace the hood

 

Red is a tough color to match since it fades over time. Good shop can match it but you will pay 400+ for it. Bring just the hood and save you an hours time for removal and installation of the new one.

 

ok thanks

 

Yep, we remember that one. It was indeed epic

 

Depends ..

if you just get the rock chips fixed and the top of the hood re sprayed it would probably be around 4 to 5 hours for labor and paint

so at $40 / hour @ 10 hours total (5 labor, 5 materials) .. that would be 400

but match could be off .. so if you want it "perfect" they would have to blend the fenders

I painted a 350z bumper at work for a older silver and it matched perfect .. just depends on the shop and what paint they use .. take it to a shop that uses ppg or other high end paint and has access to the "variant chips" to get it close as possible if you just want to paint the hood and not blend the fenders ..


EDIT .. didnt read it all the way .. you got a new hood

they usually add 2 hours or so for the bottom to be painted .. so around $500 .. just shop around at different shops, estimates are free at all major body shops

 

You could always PM me if you guys need a estimate on hood paint. Also what type of hood (as in vented or something complicated)

 

yep, but even with the variant chips, it will be hard to match pearl perfectly. i would never just paint one piece that has to do with pearl or mica.

 

thats why I said " but match could be off .. so if you want it "perfect" they would have to blend the fenders "


anyways
