Input on Autobody estimate???
My front end is chiped and scratched to hell. This work is done by a client of mine who has promised and proven that the work done is of show quality in other words perfect. I have found with my experience in auto repairs that you rarely if ever get things back to normal or as good quality.
So here is the work:
Remove, strip, and paint the entire nose including bumper, fenders, hood, and all trim included. Clear bra installed on all work to prevent future chips, scratches, etc......$2350.00
What do you guys think? Keepin in mind I'm assured perfect work. I really didn't want to spend this kind of loot but maybe I have no choice??

well, if you are guaranteed perfect work, with lifetime warranty on the paint, etc., then i would consider it. take a look at some of his other jobs. what is the clear bra? is it that film that they stick on, or is it that plastic clear bra from the 1980's?
as for the price, i know someone that had to get their hood replaced, then painted, and the fenders color matched after someone decided to take a walk over the hood. the bill was about $2000.
