With water. In the age of the original absinthe fever, the drink was always diluted with water and sweetened with sugar before consumption. First, a cube of sugar was placed on a perforated spoon resting on the top of a glass of neat absinthe.
I had a minivan with paint on the hood and roof gone. The Maaco guys quoted ~$500 for their basic probably crappy paint on the whole car. I asked how much for the hood, he said $800 because he would have to match the paint and then apply clearcoat.
How much does it cost? On average, the price of a car hood is going to be anywhere from $70 to as much as $500. Like any other car part, it will really come down to the make and model of your car. If you are going to have the hood professionally replaced, parts and labor will probably cost anywhere from $700 to $1,900.
