ogkush · 12-31-2005, 08:13 AM

im having someone install a rocker panel on the driverside which costs a grand and they said they would paint my car pearl white (the original color) for 1500, is that a good deal? all the other places were asking 3 grand to do it. the car also needs minor body repair.

i kinda want a different color than pearl white like the wrx blue but im not sure of the paint code, does anyone els know?

Rocker panel is the panel right underneath the door.

Sounds like a low end paint job. Will they be stripping the paint down or just painting over? Find out how much masking they'll be doing. You don't want everything white.

damnnn that's some nasty damage

so ur rocker panel... that's our "sill" heheh

that would take cutting and welding in a new section i would think

i guess the most you can do is get it done and complain like hell to em if it doesn't look right heh

i was worried about it not looking right but it will, i got a new rocker panel with no dmg so it just needs to get spot welded in and i got the man for the job with lots of experience.

just out of curiosity what happened to it

im not exactly sure but the car fax and title were clean when i bought it for 2k. my guess is that it spun out and hit a log or somthin, cus i live out here in the northwest. it gets real rainy out here.
