get your car ready for paint, like sand it down, prime, stuff like that.

they would not have to sand/prime the rear bumper or fenders, because i just got brand new ones that are ready for paint.


sorry for being vague i just don't know a lot about paint and do not wanna get ripped off.


please lmk.

brand new is not Ready for paint, they still need to be sanded, and sealed, in other words Prepped. And if they are Aftermarket u might want to test fit them...


other than that, alot, the prep is 80% of the job, id say atleast 1k+ depending on the car and condition.

so does 1300 sound good if i supply the paint and primer?

that's the quote i got from my next door neighbor who does amazing work.

that includes painting the car as well, and putting on the new body parts....
