t tops need painting
I had a $250. estimate to have my t tops repainted. One is orange like the car & the other is blue. This sounds like a high price what do you think.

Taping and masking - even if the tops are taken off the car - will be a large part of the labor. Price may be reasonable if they do an accurate paint match.

That's a bargain if the shop does nice work (basecoat/clearcoat with sand and polish). I couldn't do a nice job on a set of T-Tops in my garage for that price if I factored in my time.

Re: t tops need painting (lars)
:iagree:thats a good price but I would be ware of the color match.The wind blowing the wrong direction can change the color sometimes(exagerating).You might want to give him the car to make a good match.Otherwise the only way is to blend in to the area behind the tops. :seeya
