1000$ paint job
Those prices do seem fair. Usually figure around 500 for a large panel and 300 for a small if there is just minor body work that needs done first. If there is anything more than dents/dings and chips you will be paying more. When you say clear bra, what product were they planning on using?

Hey Milrly since I don't know your 1st name. There are cheaper ways around this. Don't laugh when I say Macco! They painted a friend of mines 70 Camaro. Just like I pointed out. And we were impressed to say the least. Not you could go there and talk to them & te painter. That part is free 
And believe me they want your business. Maybe you can do just the parts that are getting you down
. Like maybe the hood or front bumper. But it won't hurt to try & find out. Metion that you belong to a car club. Sometimes that helps. Cause they might think they can have more business from you

Only problem is, my whole car is in bad shape, imo. Worse yet, it's black, so anything done wrong is amplified. Also, I don't have covered parking, so nature will have its way with the paint soon after it's done.

Hi Ally. I agree with Black being that way. I had a Black 4x4 Dually 4 door 8 ft box. Hell as soon as finished washing it. It was dusty. Never again will I buy Black anything.
. Red isn't much better

It has one dent fromhail and loads of chip marks from stones. The body shop wants $550 to repaint the hood, and $625 for a clear bra. Since I can't afford that much right now, I've put it off cuz it seems pointless to get the hood painted and then continue to use it as my daily driver. Should I paint the hood and hope for the best? Or wait till I have enough for the clear bra too? Do these prices seem fair to you?

The only 1000 dollar paint job I would ever get would be white because it looks the best and is easiest to shoot. For 1000 your not really getting too much but i guess there are a lot of paint guys maybe just lookign to make some money on the side too.. what does he do for a living??
