Painting prices per panel.
Every price below includes prep, primer, color-matched base coat, clear coat and blending into the neighboring panels so the repair is invisible.
Per panel, in a standard solid or metallic color. Tri-coat and pearl finishes, and body damage under the paint, are quoted after inspection — always in writing before work starts.
Dents, bumpers, hail and collision starting prices.
Body work depends on what the metal looks like under the paint, so these are where each job starts. The written estimate is the number you pay.
What moves the price up or down.
Paint only vs. metal work
A scuffed bumper is the starting price. A dented door needs the dent pulled and filled before paint — that's body labor on top of the panel price.
Color and finish
Solid and standard metallic colors are included. Tri-coat whites and reds, pearls and matte finishes need extra blending panels and materials.
Parts
If a bumper, headlight or sensor bracket is broken, the part is added at cost plus fitting. We quote OEM and OEM-equivalent options when both exist.
