Roof Repaint
 

Just waiting for the phone call......car is at the shop, and I inquired how much would it be for them to respray the roof and rails.

Whaddya think it should run. 1K more or less ?

If it were in my area and I were expecting a finished product that would match the OEM quality, I would expect a quote higher than 1k for roof and rails.

Probably 1-2k.

Expect 1500 to 1800. When i removed my rails, my roof was resprayed for 1200.

I've never paid for bodywork out of pocket. Maybe once, but this was a small part like a trunk handle as I got a new one to retrofit a backup cam into it.

Hmm...tough call.OCD says do it. My *i think I might sell it in a yr or 2* says no, not worth it, if it's north of 1500

What is wrong with it?

I would guess around 2500.00 can.

Well you could plasti dip the entire car... or vinyl wrap it... not sure how durable it is.

Nothing really. If you've ever seen my car, the paint/body is MINT for car given it's age. Part of it is due to the bodyshop I use, which is meticulos. Every panel has had some level of fresh paint, except for the roof and rails. It's at the shop cause some debris on the roadway nicked the front hood and side panel, about a quarter size dimple.......so I figured I would ask how much ~more~ it would be for my out of pocket to have that sprayed.

So the roof is perfectly fine? You do know that repainting lowers the value of then car, right? On cars like these, you are hardpressed to find anyone who can do as well of a job as the factory. I tend to avoid cars that have had paintwork, as you can't really tell what's hiding just under the paint.
