back on topic: where ever you go, they must have a paint booth! Remember: the car must be sanded, preped, shot a base coat and/or primer, the acutual color, clear, then water sanded, then buffed

just got mine done a few months ago....cost to body shop was mid 3s.....but like you will find out....you get what you pay for. I would have to say mine is a 9.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. When I had mine done every piece was removed (doors, fenders, bumpers, trunk, hood, all glass, etc.) Wouldn't of had it done any other way.

like i said you get what you pay for......i just could not see owning such a nice ride and then messing it up with some half ass paint. Lets face it, doesn't really matter what aftermarked things you add to your vehicle if you paint is crap. Everyone notices my paint first (of course being PDG it tends to stand out a bit). I personally could never have just taken it to someone and have them just tape it and give it a quick spray. I didn't want any over spray, and i also wanted the few dents taken out. Basically I wanted it to be like new. Like i said it is not perfect (you would have to acutally detail my car to find the few almost minute bleemishes) but for being almost 5 years old its pretty close.
