Default body work/paint job ?

I have a 1993 Civic hatch, white. I need the bottom part below the gas tank cover and lower to be replaced(near the wheel well) cuz its dented in bad. What would be a price for welding a new piece in and primering it ?



Also, I wanted to know what is the going cost for a decent paint job ? Im from chicago. I was considering....dare I say it....Maaco, like one of their better ones. Or is a real paint job too expensive ?

Any opinions on the quality of Maaco paint job ?

I've never seen a maaco job in person but if you shop around you can find a full paint job matching the same color for around $1,000-$1,200. The price to have your fender fixed depends on size and the extent of the work. You're probably going to be paying $100+. The best thing to do is get atleast 3 quotes and go from there.

i would hightly suggest not going with maaco.

a quality paint will probably be around at least 2,000 unless you have some hook ups.

Replacing your quarter panel should cost a few hundred dollars. The cost of a paint job all depends on the quality of the job. Make sure they sand and prep it properly or you'll pay for it later.
