$1,100 for a paint job? What kind of quality are you getting.

Then tell them not to spray the grilles. If they eff it up, they get to do it again.

chill bro
For $1100 you should be able to tell them that the grills get masked and they should mask the and get it right at no extra charge.

Seriously man its what they do for a living so why wouldn't you trust them to do their job?

Just leave it alone already.

You have been duly warned at this point.

$1100 is cheap for a paint job. My dad owns a body shop, and to do an All-Over paint Job like yours, it would probably be around $2500 or so. Also, I know I tried to tell you how to mask up the bumper yourself...I forgot to mention that Body Shops really frown on people doing that kind of stuff themselves. A)It takes away time/money from them B)They don't want to get blamed for overspray on areas they didn't mask.
