It'll look like ass for 2k. If you want a good job, apparently the place to go is Tony Farrugia and I think double your budget.

2k or less = no deal

Phone Adam Hickey on 0418 630 813 - He has access to some awesome paints - He did that amazing purple fleck on black on my race car... I get asked about it all the time. He can do panel beating/painting and will do a special cash price. Have a look at some of his work, then decide.

LOL and the rest. Tony Farrugia won't (or rarely) touch old cars. He's like the only authorised repairer for cars like Mercs, Beemas, Audis etc and that's what they prefer to be working on.

As an indication on their price, to repair a pin dent and tiny paint chip on our S3 it's going to cost somewhere around $1700 and that's for repainting the front 1/4 panel and the driver's door.

I'm going to get mine done at Capital Collision in November and I'm looking somewhere around the $6k mark but keeping in mind my body is very straight and I'm not doing a colour change. Engine bay is being done (kept at basic black) and that's because the engine will already be out.

But yeah keep in mind you pay for what you get. For $2k or less you'll be lucky if it looks like ass and be prepared to get it done again in the not too distant future.
