Seriously you are going to be very hard pressed to find a body shop that:
A- has time to do it (with all the hail work)
B- can even come close to $2K for an entire repaint

Earl Scheib?






Maaco was the Earl Scheib of Minnesota when I lived there. $99 paint job was the deal at the time. That said, they still might throw a cheap paint job on there for you, they still advertise “easy and affordable” paint services.

Vinyl wrap ?

All of the above responses are correct, with all the hail damage no shop is going to be able to take a project like that on for a long time. Typically the cost of a full Refinish is five to $7000 without any bodywork. Vinyl wrap would be your best option.
PS: I worked at a body shop for five years and I am now an insurance adjuster.

Snow man is right. I was in collision repair for 14 years. You could get a bodyman to repair and prime the dents on the side for fairly cheap , then wrap it. With vinyl the options are endless.
