Thats not a hookup dude. Thats retail ripoff.

well if you take into consideration that maaco was gonna charge me 175 for the paint and labor alone, i did get hooked up a little. the place did an amazing job too. as soon as i get my stupid scanner working ill put some pics up

I hook up for a flawless job would be something like $80. U did not get the "hook up". Thats just what they tell you.

i was hooked up more so in that i was told of a place that paints somewhat cheap while doing a very good job at the same time. not too many things around miami are cheap and this happened to be one of the things that was. your in dallas and you run a shop so you can charge as little or as much as you want. but why are we straying so far off the topic? this has nothing to do with the guy's question

Of course it has something to do with the guy's question. Your response might have him thinking the best he can do, even with a "hook up," is $175.

I called Maaco the other week about painting a bumper. He said if it's off the car, the painting part would cost $100 max, but more like $75. Generally, Maaco painting is fine, it's just their prep work that can be problematic, if the part or car needs prep work.

the price also depends on if you are installing the bumper or need them to do that. i had to have mine installed and i had a little bit of an upcharge since one of the bumper brackets was ####ed up. thats why it cost me 175

 

[Slappster]

Ok honestly if you can't install a ####ing front bumper then you shouldn't even think about modding a car. If the brackets broken then make another one.

its not that i cant do it cuz i can, i am just too lazy and at the time i had it put in i was really pressed for time so i just had the shop do it for me.
