Why not do this yourself? Or at least try? You'll save at least $500.

There are suction tools which suck out most dings. Get a sander and sand down the rust.

Seen alot of awesome DIY threads on painting and rust/ding removal.

Don't let a bad experience set you back. Find someone who know's what there doing. Give them a case of beer...maybe lap dance at the local brothel and its all good.

Call around for some quotes. search this forum, there was a list of body shops with some reviews. The price seems about right and if you do not feel comfortable popping out the dents, let a pro do it. plus most shops will re-do your body work anyways, so might as well just let them do it.

it is possible ... But if you want a car show type of paint , then it will cost you a lot more..

I painted my car for a 1000 , looks good from about 10 feet but one you get really close you can see the quality of the job .. Not the worst but not a car show paint job... I dont really care as long as it looks good , and i wont be taking it to any car shows

If you want some really good paint job , min 2500 and it could go up to 3500 if there is work to do in the car
