Insurance doesn't owe to repaint the whole car if the paint is in bad shape, so he'd be on the hook for the cost if he wanted that done.
$52/hour is about average nationally for collision work. A resto shop normally charges higher rates, but they also normally bill straight time, not flat rate like most collision shops do.
Matt's comments are spot on, and that's coming from someone on the other side of the collision repair industry.
Exactly. Resto shops are $125.00 per and only seem to work by the hour . It seems they provide quotes at a fee and the quote means nothing. Not binding at all , just a guesstimate.
And the paint is perfect, it’s patriot blue and easily matched.
