    bondo cracks

    Bondo should never have been placed on the hood in the first place. Due to the heat and all the vibrations it will continue to crack. The shop may be able to use some putty to fix it but it is a temporary solution as sooner or later cracks will reappear.

    Looking for a new car... Opinions?

    Before you buy a hyundia or a Kia talk to your insurance agent. Both of those brands tend to run more for insurance then honda's or toyota's as the replacement panel for the body cost more. Both hyundia and kia make good vehicles.

    New Paint Job

    For a full respray with the same color you are looking at around 5000 with the engine bay and door jams. If you want to change the color add atleast another 2500 to 4000 depending on the color. These are average prices for the Area my shop is in.
