ill make you a deal. ill call 10 shops local to ya- non stealership shops , get estimates, add them up, divide by 10, and charge ya that plus plane ticket and room and board- deal?

OR $25/hour,guarantee its going to be a 80 hour job, i will work real slow and thorough to make sure i do it right, and you keep your nose out of it.

II am sorry if I offended you with the price.What would be resonable price I should offer if some one wants to do the job as side gig in there garage & how many realistic hours I should expect to be charged for prep & paint work for Hood,Bumper & fenders

Once again sorry if I offended anyone.I am just trying to see if anyone who is in the community is interested(I felt this Is best place to get some leads for good professionals

I think the point he was trying to make is that you should get some quotes from nearby shops and see what they are charging.

For $25 an hour you "might" find a local hobbeist that is willing but it would have to be someone just starting out.

Local professional painters near me start at $90 an hour. I charge less than half of that and have more work than I want.

Thanks for the response most of the body shops I talk to them are saying bring in the car & we will give estimate but car needs to be towed & I dont prefer towing car to multiple shops as each tow cost at least 60$ to get an estimate

Can I ask how many hours I should estimate for painting new bumper cover,Hood & fenders

Can you also tell me how much would welding on new radiator support will cost(I took out all of the parts) It needs to be drilled out & welded in

Thanks guys.I was able to connect with great bodyshop technician through another forum total cost including material is around 900-1000$.

Before I am ready for paint.I need help with radiator support replacement & making sure frame is straight.Do we know any frame shops that can do it in NJ preferably central NJ.I ordered the parts too.
