Paint scraped off; down to the metal... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

About 2 weeks ago on a Saturday night, I was driving home and I hit something small in the road. It looked to be about the size of a coke can, but whatever it was kicked up and hit my rear left quarter panel just above the wheel and took dozens of chunks out of the paint. Some of them are down to the metal, and 1"x.5" in area. I immediately covered the spots with some resin pen I found to prevent rust.

Does anyone have a guesstimate on how much it will cost me to fix it? I expect to have to go to the dealer to get it repainted.

Thanks.

don't go to the dealer, but yes you will need to get it repainted. somewhere in the $600 range i would expect.

Ok so no dealer? Anyone know of a good place to get this fixed in the Pensacola, FL area?

re spraying a panel without body work is usually 300 per panel. You need the 1/4 panel done so 300. Some good shops can paint a lot less like just up to the crease line and then blend with clear coat.
