[LoweredDC4]

i work at a body shop and we had to replace a roof due to hail damage. it took a while to do, It was a bitch to prime and and stuff. >.< how long did it take the shop to do yours?

I have other wheels so I told them to take time but it was 3 weeks. The did it on spare time charged me2200$ labor to skin donor roof and old roof,paint new roof and blend pillars, new windshield, new moldings for both front and rear glass, painted rear wing, painted hood inside and out and painted front lip

 

[LoweredDC4]

Honestly it's overkill for my setup (or any setup that isn't built/boosted etc for that matter) but I haven't had a single issue with starting up since I got it though, the car fires right up after cranking once or twice, even in our nasty negative degree Colorado winter weather :thumbs up

It calls for 24 hrs of labor for just roof swap plus they did hood wing and lip they hooked it up

also you said they blended the sail panels too which means they also painted your quarter a panel. thats alot of work

 

[djv1986]

Didn't get the quarters just midway on pillars. I gotta get the body straighten where rolling the bead of the fender bowed out the body and then gettin the rest painted

 

[LoweredDC4]

so the shop didnt paint the quarter? isnt the pillar connected to the quarter panel? wait... what pillar are we talking about here?

 

[djv1986]

Yes it is but only blended down half the pillar cause

 

[LoweredDC4]

haha oh yeah. i didnt understand what you said. its blended and then cleared. they recleared your whole quarter panel too.

 

[djv1986]

Idk lol. They just said the blended half the pillars lol.

 

[LoweredDC4]

yeah thats what they do though. they blend the panels so the paint matches. but they prep out the quarter panel cuz its connected to pillar. when they go to clear the blended paint on the pillar, they clear teh whole entire quarter panel cuz its connected with the pillar.
