Any good links for getting a trunk deck lid and front and rear bumper covers for an 94 e320. I am pricing out all the body work for my car and thought I would get some info. I would be open to an after market cover set if it was not too over the top.
let me know what you know.

Also what is the going rate for a good paint job (not the Maaco or Earl Shive special) Just curious.

thanks

Well if you where here in cali $1200-$1500 for a two stage paint job...

Is that paint only no prep? does it include engine compartment. If I do it I am going to do it right.

YNVDIZW124

it includes prep work, block sanding and door jams but not the engine bay because if it's going to be the same color it's kinda a waste of time i think. Are you going to do a color change?

GEDaggett

I am thinking about it. I was considering Silver but it is quite a hassle doing a color change so I may just stick with what I got.

Didn't you just get the car?

GEDaggett

Yes, About 2 months ago. I bought it with a few issues because the car over all is in great condition. There are about 5 spots that have gotten chips in the paint and have some rust issues localized to those spots(in chicago they use a lot of road salt in winter). the trunk lid has the rust issue around the plate. Also the bumper covers are cracked from the person not knowing how to stop before hitting the parking blocks. I am restoring the car and making a few Modifications as I go. Eventually the seats will be replaced with Black leather, I am doing an engine rebuild (head gasket leaks oil to the exterior so it is a good excuse to redo the head and do some porting and polishing.) 1.5 inch lowering 17inch rims, tail and head lamp swaps. driving lights and so on. To do all that and have an old paintjob doesn't make sense to me plus if I don't take care of the rust now it will destroy the car in short order.

Paint the lower cladding the top color FTW!!
That's what I'm doing very soon

GEDaggett

That's what I was thinking of doing acctually. This color is just a very Blah!! look. It is nice for Grandpa but I don't excactly want that look so I am looking for something that makes the car POP when you see it. I guess with the right accesories it can look pretty good....I'm thinking NEONS and a racing wing.
