Default Re: Scratch...... HELP! (adolph)

Just got back from the local shop...... vette shop in the area.
He says $300.... told me they will completed disaasemble the door, fill it, prime it, base coat, clear coat and prep. ( I assume this means sand).

I have an appointment Monday..... a $300 mistake.......... :cry
Can you tell me a little bit about the equipment they use?

Are they oven baking the paint?

Are they using 3M finishing products?

PERFECT!!! That is $300 well spent. They should do well to match the wavyness of the clear coat too. I think you should post the name of the bodyshop once you are completely satisfied.

Are you going to use your insurance company?
