I have NO skills or know how when it comes to body work and paint. If I did take it somewhere how much do you think they will charge? Could anyone recommend a shop in the Raleigh/Cary area? Thanks guys!

they might need to redo your front lip, prime and paint

ameuba10 · 09-06-2007, 03:40 PM

^ yea, just a thin layer of body filler to even it, then prime, color, and clear

HondaFREAK · 09-06-2007, 05:25 PM

haddock's at crossroads can do it..but it's gonna be expensive.

mikef1182 · 09-06-2007, 08:53 PM

so you think think whole lip will need to be done? Shit the lip cost $300 I might as well just buy a brand new one if its gonna cost alot.

HondaFREAK · 09-06-2007, 11:00 PM

I mean they could paint it, but then they'd have to blend it...so you would be able to get one for cheaper.

might as well get some touch up paint from honda, and some 3M rubbing compound.

ameuba10 · 09-06-2007, 11:32 PM

id say buy you a new one, and practice body work and paint on the chipped one so in case something happens to your new one, youll have your fixed old one for a backup
