GTA Group Buy: professional paint job
GTA Group Buy: professional paint job
Hi guys,
To keep things simple/clear, I'm going to split off the paint-job group buy into this thread. Here are the details again.
Shop
The shop is located in Thornhill. I was told that I cannot publish their name since they are undercutting other local pricing by so much (apparently there's an unwritten rule about undercutting another shop). But if you PM me I can give you their phone number so you can contact them directly. Payment will be made to THEM, not me. I'm just the organizer.
Quality
I have used this shop in the past with much success. They do OEM paintwork for several local dealerships as well.
Pricing
bumper - $150
bumper panels - $150
side skirts - $75
front/rear lips - $100
spoilers - $100
fenders - $100
whole car - highly competitive (depends on car and if there are rust repairs to be made)
All prices above INCLUDE taxes (now you know what I mean about undercutting their competitiors )
Group buy pricing only comes into affect with 5 or more people. Prices will not go down even if we get more than 5 since these prices are close to cost.
Sign up
Sign up here by posting the following information, as I have below. Include your HANDLE, LOCATION, Approx. DATE that you need work done, COLOUR (custom colours will cost MORE - e.g. pearlescents, two-tones etc) and WHAT needs to be done below.
Once we have enough participants, I'll send the preliminary list to the shop and I'll PM everyone with the contact info. You'll then arrange with the shop directly... just mention your name and the shop will know to give you group-buy pricing since they'll have a copy of this list:
1. Strife, Toronto, Anytime, OEM colour, front lip + side skirts
2. ovendenk, ottawa, first of may, oem teal to silver, rust on both quarters, and small amount of rust around windshield and door handles
3. Vince, Toronto, Before May, Whole body paint OEM white.

As mush as temping as this is, i'm more worried about quality...we've gotten "good deals" on paint jobs, but it just started to rust out after a year or two...ones was a reputable body shop, the other was the friend of my mom's best friend.
Secondly; are they gonna warranty their work or are they not providing a warranty because of the discount?

i've never received a warranty from any paint shop in the GTA... even a really expensive one a few years ago from an insurance claim... but I'll ask them
i know the shop will gurantee paint match though
anyway hope this helps... this is a killer deal and I've used these guys before (they normally charge 40-50% more than this GB pricing).. never been disappointed... they also do all the paint work for a GM dealership in thornhill (including OEM warranty/insurance claims)

If they wouldn't guarantee it then they didn't fix it properly. It's as simple as that. NEVER get work done where they don't fully guarantee there work. It's just trouble. By the way, what is the average total going to be for a full rust removal paint work deal? I'm trying to decide between this and the racers discount through the CASC.I received a warranty on my car when I had it painted. The only parts they couldnt warranty were the parts with rust on them because they cant guarantee it wont rust again.

hey man,
is that list a list of people confirming/reserving a spot in the gb or is it just to show strong interest? because i am really interested, but i would need a complete quote along with confirmation of a warranty before i put out any money. if you need detailed pics of any needed body work to give the shop for a decent quote, let me know and you'll have em. please let me know soon cause i'm starting to hunt around for prices. thanks in advance.

well most body shops wont guarantee rust work because they cant guarantee it wont come back. Rust is like a disease you can get rid of it but cant guarantee it wont returnmazdubber wrote: If they wouldn't guarantee it then they didn't fix it properly. It's as simple as that.

You have to realize that there is a right way of fixing it, and there is sanding it down and slapping bondo over top of it. Many shops don't have the expertise to cut out a bad piece and weld in a plate. They might be able to paint but they're just bondo slinging butchers when it comes to the body work.well most body shops wont guarantee rust work because they cant guarantee it wont come back.
