Hey guys, i was wondering how much it would cost to mold a body kit onto the car, or if anyone in south florida knows how to do it, or how hard is it to do? Because my friend (punch) has a friend who will paint my car for $1200, but to do the molding and everything he said $2500, im thinkin I could probably do it myself, from what i hear its not that hard, i just need some advice/help from some1 who knows what there doing. Thanks guys.

ummmm 2500$ to mold, prep, paint IS NOT BAD!
up in va its like 4500$ for just a paint....and a 2 month turn around..... but molding does take time and concentration..... you can do it 2 ways in my opinion... 1st is sand it all down and then put 2layers of fiberglass mat over the joint this will hold your fenders to your fender and your bumper to your body...it reduces the chances of cracking from there its pretty much all bondo work....layers at a time...put some down sand it smooth to the curve and just work at it till its seamless..... its rather difficult cause you have to get the bondo work to flow the lines of the car and get an even transition.....best left to professionals and not first timers |

everyone has to start somewhere right? as you know playr I dont have $2500 to spend right now, and he said he would paint my car for $1200, so im thinkin I have to know somebody who can do it/help me and I could save alot of money.
