I’m planing to remove my stock foam spoiler and I wanted to know if anyone here had any body or paint shops in the K-W area that they would recommend I check out. I would need them to fill the holes and repaint my hatch.  
Also for those who have done this already, how much did you pay?

Yup… they do real good work, but not cheap.

Mayer Auto Body “off Lancaster”

BML ? “on Wellington near Lancaster”

Both do very good work for fair prices. “Mayer will do cash”

its true they can be a little pricey, but you can go in 5-10 years later and say, look at my hatch, the paint is \_\_\_\_(bubbled, oxidized, discoloured, rusting), and they will fix it.

My buddy works there and has told me stories of repairing 7-10 year old paint, or respraying a uerethane spoiler because the paint aged differently and no longer matched.

i’ll agree that queensway does great work…but it’s super pricey…$200 for a fender or more i was quoted…3500$ just to repaint the trunk and rear 1/4 of my jetta when it was hit…the biull came to over 5g’s after they pulled the dint.

i know of a few of the smaller places that will paint an entire car for 500-1000$ and the work isn’t that bad. it’ll look like stock paint in texture and appearance.

The only thing that will look like factory paint is factory paint or a really really expensive shop.

Well I’m not too concered if it doesn’t perfectly match … it looks like the hatch has already been repainted once before.  
I’m just looking for a paint job that will last for a few years and not look horrible, and then I can get the entire car done.

and thanks for the suggestions guys … they’re even close to my house 😃
