Fiberglass Hood Repair

[OrangeCrush]

Without including the bumper damage, a good idea is about 2-3 hours (depending on if it's cracked underneath) for repair. The rule of thumb for painting is approx. 250 per panel (eg. fender) You'll have some time to R&I (remove and install) items like lenses, latches, fender flares, etc.

You could figure if you took it to a bodyshop, you'd have about 400-450 bucks in it.

It should be about a 3 day repair from start to finish.

Hope that helps.

PS. If I wasn't in the bodyshop business and was going to try to fix it myself, you can buy what's called vette adhesion panel adhesive. It's a cross between bondo and gorilla hair, just finer. The problem is painting... it's not that some people can't paint, it's just difficult to paint without the proper equipment and place.
