Car Scraped- Any Rough Estimates?

ssimonvii · 06-20-2016, 12:11 PM

Hey Guys,
My car was hit in a parking lot and of course, no note was left. In owning the car for less than 4 months, it has fallen victim to paint splatters from a building nearby (had to get an exterior detail), and not this. Not thrilled to say the least.

I'm going to take it in for a couple estimates, but I wanted to see if anyone has had any similar damage and wanted to see what price range you were in? Just want to make sure I'm not going to get screwed on the price. Any advice would be super appreciated. I'm in West LA in case you all have any recommendations of where to go.

Unless someone blends the fender, prob looking at fender and bumper. I would want the bumper removed and stripped of all parts before spraying. Will cost more but better results. Cost is dependent on market, quality of paint ext.

Estoril blue curse strikes again!

On a real note I'm sorry dude... Too bad we have stupid sleezy scumbags in the world who don't give a shit about anything.

I just had something similar fixed. $1200 but since you've got 2 panels maybe a little more.

That said I had something way worse "lease fixed" on my T-Reg for $250. Not perfect but almost invisible. Might want to go that route if you're leasing and don't need concours level perfection.

should be no more than 300$ per piece for paint.

$700- 750 tops. Other than that, you getting ripped off.

Just got a scrape on my Estoril Blue convertible very similar to yours. Getting it fixed tomorrow for $275.00 by the detailer that I have used for years. Not the first scrape he has fixed for me and he does impeccable body work. Unfortunately, for you, he's down in San Diego.

Why is is that BMWs seem targeted for parking lot altercations? I've had my twin turbo RX-7 for twenty-two years without a single scrape. The two BMWs seem to get banged into yearly.
