Paint Job

Re:Paint Job
painting isnt really the expensive part, its prep. if you are confident enough to sand down your own car then go for it. but if your car needs patching from rust and holes and dents its going to cost you more money.

Re:Paint Job
let see i just had all my ---- done on my crx.
800$ for paint primer sealer clear and all that good stuff you need to paint a car.
1000$ for body work that me and a friend did. including 2 new fenders and 2 new rear 1/4 panels. and a sunroof panel. all the materials etc.
0$ to prep the car and kit all by myself
400$ for the car to be shot by a friend who is a professional. including jams.
0$ for the car to be buffed. (still isn't but thats free for me)
$1200 is damn good for just paint. anything under $800 u know u are looking at shitty piant. i used Dupont, PP&G is good also.

Re:Paint Job
I got to wash my car and take some pics, my paint job was like $400 but i got all of my materials for durt though my shop discount and i did all the work myself... Usualy what determens the price of the paint job is the materials, you can get a sinle stage paint which is chip and shity and spend a $100 (single stage is like paint and clear in one mix, trust me it's bullshit, that's what MAACO uses for their paing jobs) or you can get a good DuPont paint and spend $200 on paint only and on top of that you have to get clear where the galon of good PPG clear will run you $350-450 plus some good sealer 1 court $60-80 so right there you are almost at $700 just into materials. If you want to get a chamelion paint 1 gallon will run you around $2,500 that's just for PAINT and if you want get some awesome clear prepainr to spend around 1G just on one galon, so there you see how materials determen the price of a paint job...
