Reprime necessary? How much paint?

[dubnpain]

I have a primed fender on my mk4 that has been exposed to about a month and a half of outdoor conditions (bad call, i know). I dont know much about auto body so I'm curious if it'll need to be 'reprimed' before I have a friend paint it?

Also, is there any good place in MN to pick up some quality VW paint other than from the stealership? Then again, I dont even know how much I'd need to paint just one fender. Anyone have an idea?

Wow.. Im really clueless.. :drool:

I ordered a can of tornado red once. it matched pretty well. I didnt use much of it though. Shipping was prompt.

i talked to a couple places locally and they were saying about 300 for a fender painted black. i even said i would bring in the fender off of the car.

ill rattle can it before i paint it for that kinda cash.

if it's primed and off the car... i can hook it up for a lot cheaper!!!

[dubnpain]

would i need to bring the paint in too? or would you just mix it up there?

[BlkMgc20AE]

we got everything.... is it red????

[dubnpain]

actually its uniblack. i heard black vehicles are alot easier to color match?

[StickiestOfTheIckiest]

they are....I had my drivers door replaced and painted when I got side-swiped by a pickup...no blending and it matches damn near perfect lol....same with my bumpers. I remember seeing my dad panel paint black A LOT of times when I worked with him at Master Collision Group (i was a prepper) and they always matched.

^ awesome. thats what i was hoping. I painted my rubstrip with a rattle can from advanced auto parts and that even turned out almost color match perfect.

defintily the easiest!!!!!! Black is very very simple to color match... you can fuck up black!!! If you get a chance stop by, i work at our eden prairie location or give me a call and i can figure out something.. i have a painter here who loves to do stuff off the clock for dirt cheap!!

Is it new?? or is it the existing one???? if it's new off the car no more than $200... but if it's old, and on the car... a little more for body and r&i time!

I have been told that paintless can get it out too. Painted of course

[BlkMgc20AE]

ohhh ok that might be a little tricky to do... off the clock... anyway you could send me a pic???

[dubnpain]

whats the chances that he could paint the front part of my drivers door too? the reason i need the fender painted is because i replaced it when it was damaged. so i'd have him paint the whole fender. the very front part of my door has some paint chipped off too.. would that be difficult for him to do?

[BlkMgc20AE]

no not really... he would probably just need it on a friday night and all day saturday so the paint can cure.. and then he can buff it too!!!

[dubnpain]

how much you think it'd cost for the fender and front part of the door? any guesstimate? i can get paint too if that help.

[BlkMgc20AE]

i dunno i not at work right now but i would say somewhere in the $400 range for sure... that would include paint and materials!!!

I'm now thinking of Robbing my roof
