Hero: I reside in Pico Rivera, CA however I work in West Los Angeles near Santa Monica during the week.

Do you guys know how long a typical respray will take? Is this something where i can drop it off in the morning and pick up the car in the evening?

Legit body shop about 600 bro. Go through her insurance only. You do not have to report it to yours or get a written document with her own writting admitting fault. Actually do that regardless.

Not all of them have cameras, particularly not the early ones. Or maybe she just goofed and didn't look. Depressing reality is that people eff up, and that is why we are required to have insurance (or proof of financial responsibility). Mistakes are like hard drive failures; it's not a question of if it will happen, it's a question of when. Or like the two types of motorcycle riders... those who *have* laid it down and those who *will.*

I would ask for at least $500, especially if you take it to a reputable shop

5-600 for a good job. Can be done in one day if they have a baker, but id rather not push them, let them do it right and make their profit. Imperative that they use good materials such as dupont or ppg for example, cheap materials and you are rolling the dice. If they are gunna use cheap materials you are better off to pocket the money and not even spray them on your car, they look nice at first but do not have the durability of the higher end products as they cost about a third of the price.
