hey guys im having some issues with the paint on my dark maroon TF....
the side mirror is going all white (paint is flaking off). Was like that when i bought it a year ago and hasnt really gotten much worse but is annoyin as all hell. How much would it be to get this repainted???
then on the roof there is a white patch, looks like the paint is fading away and u can c the white of the primer. Started off at about the size of a 10cent peice but has grown to the size of a 50 cent peice and another little dot has appear next to it. Can i get just that area painted? or would i have to do the whole roof??? Or the whole panel that makes up the roof?
then also the paint is beginin to flake on my rear bumper where there is a vertical groove about half way down the bumper. This would cost around 200 to get touched up yeah? don't really trust myself in doing it....
What cost would i be looking at? about 600-800 all up?
I have a mate who works at a panel beater and sparyer... he practically manages the shop. They have a spraying room but no oven to bake metalic paint jobs but he can do matte jobs... reckon a white matt colour would look good? how much work would be involved in preppin the car for a job like that? probably wouldnt do the engine bay and boot as this car will be stayin the i family probably until it dies as ill be handing it off to my folks when i get another car in 5-6 yrs time... (i work on 10 year plans).... ...
