Default HELP: LA and OC area bodywork/paint

so my bro asked me for help regarding the topic above.

situation:

my bro has a lifted nissan frontier. he got custom fiberglass fenders for cheap BUT it looks rough (needs a little bit of bondo and bodywork) and needs paint as well. no cracks or holes but the surfaces isnt smooth nor straight.

SO, he came to me to ask around. he said he's willing to pay $250-400 for bondo/bodywork and paint for just the fiberglass fenders.

i know it's possible to do within a day (at least for bondo and bodywork), but we just dont have the resources (experience, supplies, and time) to do this.

PM me if you have any suggestions or solutions.

thanks in advance.

Just got my car back from DTM. Doesn't look like the greatest area but they did a great job painting/installing my bumper. They also had like 4 other Zs they were working on, I also saw a 240, a couple s2000s, a 911 and a couple sti's. I was very impressed with there work. Final got pictures up.
