I have a very small rust spot on the hood of my lexus, probably one inch long by 1/8 inch wide. Any idea what a shop would charge to fix that and respray the front bumper? I’m going to drive around for estimates probably. I would most likely go to Dave @ Paintworx, but the job doesn’t have to be perfect for this. Disregard how dirty the car is right meow. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/IMG_0296.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/IMG_0296.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/IMG_0297.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/1flossedm3/IMG_0297.jpg) ---

Labor wise the fix would be nearly the same as just the spot removal. ---

If you see the rust there, its already focked. To do it right its a cut out and patch job. What year is the car? There is about $170-$250 in materials to respray a hood and bumper cover. If I wasnt uber busy I could respray it for you after I scabbed in a filler piece and such. ---

My friend just fixed a similar rust spot on my passenger fender. His information is the vendor information thread. Stop by his place on Essex St. in Albany for a quote. Tell him you know me from the forum, maybe he’ll work with you. He sanded, bondo’ed, sanded, and painted my fender without ever taking it off the car or removing anything (other than the mud flaps so he could color match). Came out awesome. ---
