Its $7000+ here just to sand and respray. I got a quote to get my old car painted, 4 dr sunfire, 7-8K, not including jambs or anything, just sand and shoot.

F*king sucks. Gunna paint my truck myself.

I'd go with Gun-metal... or ... radar blue or something similar.

ha....4000....wow...and even ur 1500-2000 is way overpriced than what me and my roommate charge....i'm doin so much body work on my crx its not even funny...idiot got hit under the gas latch so that rear quarter panel had to be pulled and built...and since it was an si and they welded the sunroof in i have alot to do on the roof...and i've only paid maybe 100 so far...and now i jus have to get the black paint i want (20 a qt) or the dark red(40 a qt) and paint the complete car. the engine bay has already been done in rubberized undercoat....so sweet

It's not over priced. When you have a shop, full spray booth, etc, it adds up, and I'm not having my car painted with no cheap *** paint. You guys painting cars in your garage?

My dad is one of the best auto body refinishers and painters in New York, and my step dad did the same thing here in Florida for about 15 years, so to say, I know my paints and know what a quality job is.

And I've decided on gun metal. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The car's going to a friend of a friend's shop to get tuned and converted to OBD1 ECU, and chipped then ran on the dyno.

After that, it's going to the body shop for about a week/week and a half.

I support your decision on the gunmetal.

Si blue

Depends really. The guy doing it is a friend. A FULL paint job, at any given shop can run up to around $4000 just for a factory paint job.
I think mine is getting done for around $1500-$2000, including body work, which is a lot of dings and small dents.

I hope you give the painter some lube. Because he's getting ****ed at that cost. He would be LOSING money on a full color change.

Yes, she was totaled last month. I was rear ended while I was at a stop and thrown into incoming traffic.

It's alright though. I've found a replacement, and I'm going tonight to pick it up.

1996 Integra GSR. Needs to be painted, staying with OEM colors. Either Black or Milano Red

Completely stock besides lowering springs, shocks, and the camber kits, with only 86k miles on it.
