Quick paint question here...
I have some blemishes on my paint and was wondering how much a total paintjob generally would cost for a car. Would they need to remove the old paint and paint over it then clearcoat or would it just require sanding down areas (like on my hood there is a crack or something in the hood that would definitly need sanding) and then painting over and clearcoating as long as i went with the same color?
After what happened to my car (can be seen http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=558331 ) ive had to consider a new paint job so i figured id ask people who actually knew what they were talking about (hopefully
specifically this picture, lower left hand corner of the hood underneath where it says BABY
I can also take some pics of the other parts (spoiler has some cracking and spider cracks, some scuffing on the trunk, paint off where spoiler meets the trunk and is starting to rust out possibly, small scratches on the surface, on the bumper behind the rear wheels, on the side scoops, approx. 5mm door ding on passenger door, paint chips/exposed plastic on front bumper in 2 or 3 spots) that would need some work. Would touchup paint work or would it be brighter than the old stuff and stick out even worse? I guess i dont know much at all about paint aspects on cars other than that you pay dearly for paint and even more for labor. Any info would probably be new to me.
