That said it is VERY labor intensive. Also you have to consider the paint shop that puts 3 coats of " FILLER PRIMER" on it to block it out and the paint job fails..
The last one I fixed this past summer was cracked bad, and gouged by the bumper jack. You Now can grab the upper edge were it was cracked and bend it over, and nothing happens. I have 40 hours in it with 7 coats of SPI primer and a tube of easy mix.
Figure 100 for primer
56 for 3m easy sand.
40 hours @ ?? 30 dollars..
Sand paper, tape, etc
So let's say $1400 .
People are hard pressed to spend 1100 on a dash recover
Would they spend 1400 on their " Beak" ??
Some paint shops won't touch them, others want to strip it themselves after its fixed..... thoughts?
