    oh no! PLEASE don't just go out and get yourself some bondo and spray paint. you are just asking for some serious problems that will cost more in the long run.

    1st problem. if bondo isn't applied right you'll get rust under it. the worst part about that is you won't even know the rust is growing because the bondo is coving it.

    2nd problem. rattle can spray will also give you rust and will flake off.

    3rd problem. bondo is a b*tch to get flat if you're not used to working with it daily. i know people that have been working with bondo for years and they still can't get it right . ever looked down the side of a car at a show and it looked kinda wavey? bad bondo work.

    please take my word for it. i have worked in a body shop and restored my share of cars. in the long run, $1000 is well worth a good paint job!

    i spray painted my bumpers and side molding it looks great but it is also a temporary solution until i get my car repainted in about a week. im paying about 1600 for my paint job. A buddy of mine who owns his own body shop said that that was a good price.

    I asked around for the paint job... $1000-$1500.. Damn expensive. Well, guess I'll just have to get some Bondo and do the job myself. By the way, how much will it cost to change the brake pad(all)? Do you guys think that it's possible to spary paint the bumper myself? I am not from America.. so there is really nothing I can share with you guys, sorry about that. You guys been really helpful. Thankz a lot!!!
