Re: Body Shop warning
... is this a Joke.
No decent body shop would paint a car to match that badly faded paint.
You would have to paint the whole car. I assume you didn't want to do that.
What did you ask this supreme place to do?
And what did they charge you?

Re: Body Shop warning
You did see the damage on my website. That is what needed to be fixed. I let them get away with the primer since I plan on painting the car later anyway. What ticked me off was that Josh claimed that the cracks come from rust. There was no rust before. I don't remember what was paid for this since the insurance paid for it. I think it was around the $2,400 area

Re: Body Shop warning
If you don't paint primer it rusts...
Was the whole fender cut and new metal welded in?
yep
That would be the only way to fix that, I assume for $2400 they hammered it out and threw on some bondo..
Sucks..

Re: Body Shop warning
I know it's an old post, but you should be taking this up with your insurance company.
That is really unacceptable work.
