Hey guys im new here, and i need help with finding a good body shop in or around norman or sombody to just do my front and rear bumpers as well as the outline on my grille. it needs to be mineral grey

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Have you spoken to any shop about it?

[Ramthedaughter]

i went to norman body works and they told me to go to a place off of 36th and tecumseh, i forgot the name, and i went out there a long time ago and talked to them about my door handles and stuff, but im just afraid theyre gonna run me over 600. cause they said 150 for color matched door handles and tailgate handle

First off, welcome to ORC. Imo, screw body shops, they're stupid expensive. For the door handles amd stuff, its really easy to do yourself as long as you get the right paint. Just sand them down, spray with primer, then paint

There is a LOT more to it than that Colton...

what?? nah........hells no. LOL

Well I'm just saying the basics. Any way you look at it, its not gonna cost no damn $150 to paint door handles. I'm about to do it to mine, along with the mirrors, tailgate handle and wiper cowl. I've done it before with Mike and its not that bad. All it takes is alot of patience.

remember, patience = time = money

150 for a body shop to do 5 handles is VERY CHEAP considering they have to remove all 4 door panels remove the door handles and key lock(s), sand them smooth without scratching and most shoot with high quality materials not just a rattle can job ... no materials don't cost 150 bucks but thats by far not a ripoff with the amount of work to do them correctly

[Matt]

just for reference most audio shops charge 100-180 bucks to put in 4 speakers which is like 1/10 of the work and no material costs minus maybe 25 cents in a couple connectors
