Yea I saw that you rear ended someone I hate that feeling. So you think around 2-3 hundred for paint? I'm seeing the fender for sale for around 200 online but I made a WTB post on here to see if I can save him any money

ok. im a body tech and id say 2.0hr in body repair and itlld be about 1.5hr in paint so at 50/hr thats roughly 200 just in labor. so abt 250. thats repairing the fender... dont replace it b/c of that. just bring the car to the shop with the fender emblem off and the corner of the bumper unbolted so you dont have to pay additional labor for the body tech to do it also. (make it where all they have to do if fix dent and spray it. take off anything that would get paint on it or youll pay out the butt in additional labor for them to R&I (remove and install) everything for paint.

I dont really have a choice its my DD at college and I live in a house with a dirt driveway in Massachusetts. Can't really avoid dirt or snow but I wash my car weekly. I didn't ask for anyone's respect I asked how much some people thought it would cost to repair some damage and I got my answer.
