Just got my estimate to fix/paint my car.
Insurance to cover the scrape down the left side: $4200. My part to paint hood, front bumper, right side, roof, trunk and rear bumper, including 2 new doors and prep work: $7070. Seems like a lot of money to me. Any thoughts? I'm not paying that. I think i'll pull the car and prep it myself and have someone spray it.

They are. But $11k? That includes 1 fender and 2 doors & paint.
I could buy a good S6 for that price.....or a compressor, paint gun, paint, dual action air sander, bigger intercooler, another car to drive while I paint, take a vacation........

My total repaint was $3000 and its perfect. They had my car for 5 weeks.
I said I wanted it perfect or I don't want it back! The guys from who saw my car at MotorStadt can vouch for how goodd the paint work is!

hey, if they're used to doing ultra-high quality work for people who will pay for it,...
then you may be looking at the wrong shop!
If this is the kind of shop where one goes to paint a vintage Shelby Cobra, then maybe you set the bar too high

I would never pay that! Its definately HIGHWAY ROBBERY!
Unless it looks like glass and there isn't a single fish eye, run, or flaw at all even at the edges. Mine has all that covered, and still was only $3k.
