I'm looking for some opinions of people that do or are intimately familiar with body work. So here goes...
To the average joe... my car is in pristine condition for a 2004 with 48K miles on it. However, being the anal owner I am I of course notice all the little flaws here and there.... The front bumper cover and hood has some normal wear from chipping etc... I have done a lot of touch up work on it. There are two visible dings on the right quarter panel that need to be repaired.
There is also water damage that occured from the previous owner. Its hard to see because I have removed it from the naked eye but under certain reflective lighting conditions, such as fluorescent lights, you can see how the clear coat is eched on all the horizontal surfaces of the car, so hood, roof, and trunk lid. Except for the two dings the sides are in pretty good shape.
I would be ecstatic if I could have the hood, front bumper cover, and the two dings cleaned up. But as this point your working on 1/3 of the car.
If I just fixed the dings, and road/chipping on the hood and front bumper I'm curious what that would cost... do you have to repaint an entire surface to fix a few stone chips on the hood?
