So The Turtle has some hail damage on the hood and decklid.
Not too bad unless you really look for it, but bad enough that it bothers me. I have sourced another hood and decklid that are currently at the blaster to get blasted and primed. The originals will be displayed on the garage wall. I called my paint guy and he wants $800 to paint them to match the original Willow Green. $800!! I can paint all one color, but nothing spectacular. So maybe I can paint the new ones a flat black? Or some other color? Dont really trust my limited skills to paint to match the rest of the car. What do you guys think? Eat the $800? Keep shopping around? Paint myself in some contrasting color? What color?  |
