are you saying that you have to pay $1000 just to prep the car from clear coat????? that's a joke. wouldn't it be cheaper to get the car repainted or replace to front bumper once in a while?

And also to paint both the trunk lid and nose properly.
So it was about 300 bucks more than the 700 est but i also had him compleatly buff out the whole car and remove any scratches inorder to prep it for the clear bra .
all in all it is a good price. not cheap thow..
But anyone else out there that wants to remove your badges now you know what to expect.

I had the car debadged. that cost me the $1000 to do it correctly and repaint the surfaces and reclear coat !
I had them buff out any scratches inorder to prep it for the clear bra.
There is no prep that you need to do . Elite Coatings washes the car and applys the stuff.
I was just being extra **** and getting my brandnew car buffed out after they did the debadging work.

theres 2 diffrant shops involved here. one is debadging the car, Auto Recon. go there if your going to get yours done in the L.A. area.
then Elite Coatings is doing the Clear Bra, 95% of the car ! not just the nose.
