Need a Paint shop.....

[Guest]

if you wnat a nice paint job....its gonna cost ya....no matter what....unless you know the guy so you can just pay for the paint and they just charge you a small fee.......thats what im doing with my eclipse

[harwood39]

i know it goin to cost me, but i dont want to pay for a 3000 box and respray i am asking my friend where he got his paint mixed from and he said somewhere on main that starts with an S between 25th and 45th. he paid $240 for everything and than sprayed it in his garage. i would basically be doin the same thing except bringing it somewhere. so i just need a place that will be charging labor.

Try Hobby Shop...very reasonable...BlackTT can vouch for them

[harwood39]

Where is Hobby Shop? Never heard of it.

baaah go get a macco paintjob

[harwood39]

screw that, it has to look good. and the car has to be boxed also. it cant just be sprayed, too many dents and wrinkles in the doors(fucking hondas).

[harwood39]

How much do macco paint jobs cost anyways? I would be supplying the paint.

[Tad218]

from what i hear it only costs a couple hundred but your lucky if it looks good for more than a year or 2...i dunno about you supplying the paint though.

[harwood39]

well, i want the same color, and the only way to get it is to have it specially mixed. you can only get the fingernail polish touch up bottles and those are even rare. but i only need the paint to last until next summer.

For $240 your not even gonna get any decent paint/supplies. Even enough of a half ass paint is gonna cost you $150 plus primer, sealer, clear, filler, etc... If you dont got the $$ for paint just leave it as is. Wasting $$ on a half ass paint job is just a waste of your time and $$ and you'll regret spending the $$ for something that looks like ass...

[harwood39]

i am not goin to leave it multi colored for a year. next spring it is goin to get repainted again. But that time the side trim will be shaved, rain gutters will be shaved, passenger door will be replaced, and the engine bay will be sprayed. this is why it doesnt have to be a paint job that will last for more than a couple years.

[Tad218]

well then maybe a macco paintjob seriously wouldnt be a bad idea

[harwood39]

im goin to go macco. torbs is getting more info for me right now. like a phone number
