For them to do it right you are looking closer to 3000.00+ Get your own estimates from quality painters. Yes you can get a 2000.00 paint job, you can also get one for 189.00 but neither will look like a factory paint job. Take it to a GOOD BMW dealer and other quality shops and tell them you want factory quality, strip the old off and base/clear. Good Luck Some f***ing a**hole apparently decided it was in order to key my ENTIRE car last night...the only undamaged panel is the roof. Anyone know what to look for in a paint job? My insurance adjuster came today and estimated about $2000...this sounds low to me, but I have no idea. Anyone have any experience with this? I want something that looks like the factory job...the car previously had not a scratch on it.
