Getting my 91 fastback painted tomorrow, but am I paying too much? PICS 2ND PAGE!!!!!

***********PICSSSSSSS 2ND PAGE*************

Hey all, tomorrow I am going to bring my car to be painted, to a bodyshop that is owned by a friend of mine's father. I have gotten various quotes from him because I first wanted to you use my M-sports body kit (which I have decided not to, and have been trying to sell for weeks!) and give my white car a nice white pearl paint. I got quoted 900. I since have decided that I would rather paint my car the stock q11 paint ( i believe the s13 white is called nissan super white, correct me if im wrong.) and clean up the millions of dents and my half rusted hatch. for this he quoted me 800 bucks. Now i was like wtf man, Thats alot for doing just stock repaint etc so let me break down whats going to be done and you guys tell me if it is right for that price.
First
2 stage ppg premium paint,
sealing of my massively fucked up hatch,
(tape is over a big hole. lol)

fixing of around 20 some dents on my car,
no door jams,
wetsand buff etc... as well as all the prep work.

do you guys think that is honestly worth 800 bucks? I mean the guy does good work, I have seen the cars he puts out, deffinately not maaco style at all, but what have most of you guys paid for repaints?

**Also while im on the subject do anyo fo you have another nissan or some sort of white that you would recommend I use, and if you do please provide the paint code.**

I figured I would shop around and I decided to go to another bodyshop in the area and they quoted me 1150 for the same thing (which I think is crack prices, mabe because they had a few lambos in the shop under the knife).


well what should I do, oh and I am realy contemplating pulling a dousan and tossing some flake (blue for me) into the clear coat.

So yea just tell me what you think about this service im getting, if its worth it etc...


oh also he told me that he wouldnt paint the black trimming ( the side mirrors and trimming on the outside of the a-pilar) for some stupid reason which i think is bogus sayin oh its plastic and bla bla bla, bs thats all.
