I'm going to get some bids which include clear coat on the damage to my ELKO. (see not a power antenna option)
I got 1 from a private shop that said, (sand, primer, sealer, paint, then the whole door and fender would have to be clear coatedbecause it's clear coated now) $250.00 to $350.00, (needs to see damage up close and depends on paint.
But I'm going to check on several shops and get bids. I.E Macco, and others.
keep us posted and I'll do the same.

MAACO's are franchised, like McDonalds, so each one is owned independently... some are better than others. I've seen some great Maaco jobs, and then I've seen some not so good. If you have one nearby, talk to the owner... try to get a feel for his expertise, ask for references. About 95% of a good paint job is in the prep work... ask him if he'll do the touchups, wet sand and prep the whole car before spraying the clear, then buff it out... just explain to him that it was sprayed before you got it and don't know how well it was prepped... he should understand, and give you an appropriate price. Good luck getting it taken care of.

did you go to the paint store to match up the color? when I replace my front end clip,I went to the paint shop and had the paint put into rattle cans.couldn't afford a spray gun and air commpressor and this was the cheapest way out.I had a lot of complements about the job I did.so,instead of going to Maaco,check into this and it might save you some $ ..oke:
