Good deal?
I've been looking at having some body issues fixed on my truck (rust on the window corners and around the clearance lights, as well as several dents, chips, scrapes etc.) I recently got a quote for 3000 to fix everything and paint the entire truck (Dupont paint). I would also be adding a set of Bushwacker OE flares and having them painted. I would be removing my rear bumper, toolbox, bug shield, and nerf bars to save a little money. So does the price sound right?? M & M Custom Finishes Homepage

Have you seen any work that they have done?I am not sure on the price because I have not had any of that work done.If they are good and do not rush through jobs I do not mind paying a little more for quality work that is going to last.

Yeah I've seen his work in person and in pictures, it looks nice. He offers a lifetime warranty and says he's never had a call back. I am gonna get some references from him next week. I was curious on price as I have no experience here either. Time frame for the job is about a week.

If most of their work is high quality full paint jobs, and they actually remove every bit of rust and properly handle the affected areas, I'd say that's a decent deal. A poorly handled rust area will come back at ya' in a couple or more years and ruin your paint job.(i.e. bondo or paint over any speck of existing rust. It will eventually bubble your paint). Like riverrat41 said, check out some of the vehicles that they have done.
If their final work checks out, and you're getting all the body work done right, that's a fair price. But if it looks like Maaco, then go to Maaco and get it done for probably less than half that.
