So i just found this place in my area that will paint my car in Nighthawk Black Pearl for $1600, which is the exact color that i'm looking for and in my price range... do you think it's a good deal?

And for those with paintjobs recently, did you have warranty? how long should i have?

Thanks,

 

wat color is ur car now?

 

i think flamenco black...

The paint is peeling and my rear bumper just got f*cked so i am thinkin of iving it a brand new coat of paint...

 

$1600 for paint and body work is fair.. i know a place but its in Los Angeles..

 

I would check to see if they have any type of limited warranty or paint integrity warrenty. Im thinking of getting mine re-painted, did they say how long they would have your car ?

 

tell me, i live in LA, just go to school in OC...

 

He said one week, guaranteed! i'm gonna ask to have the plastic side skirt, rotors (the rusty part), valve cover, maybe caliper (if i don't do a legend swap) painted too.... i'm still negotiating, not in any hurry (until the insurrance check come) so if you guys can find a better deal, please give me a head up...

 

The place my cars at is called "The shop - auto body" the owner is John and his # is 323-257-7085 . its at 5001 N Figueroa St. Los Angeles, CA 90042

 

thanks, i'll give him a call...

What's ur name? Can i say you sent me?

 

that shits gonna come out poor.

i cant see you getting a quality job for that price.

they must use some bullshit paints and crappy labor like the guys at jiffy lube

 

MOB WORKS off of ball rd in the OC. It's a bit pricey... but def worth it. If u wanna see if that 1600 is worth ur money/time, check out the other projects they have done. Do they have a reputable name? Do they do a lotta cars? hows the shop condition? the workers? Take all these things into thought before u leave ur car with them.

 

MOB is WAYYYYY too expensive... 5 grands for a paint job

Like i said, i'm in the process of negotiating and looking for quotes so i'm not set with this shop... but thanks for the points you mentioned... i'll def look into those...

If anyone here had their car painted, would you mind giving me the place's # so i can get some quotes please? Thanks

 

Tell him that Daniel From Cal National Bank sent u.. Take ur car in and tell him everything u want done..

my baby will be there until saturday.. let me know if there doing a good job..

 

1600 is a pretty good price but like dragon said, it might not be the best paint job..

for a good paint job you gotta pay some good $$...dragon and myself know all about that

right now im painting my car at school and i get a pretty nice discount on the stuff and it'll still end up costing me almost 3g's (CDN) but thats without labour..i could only imagine how much a shop would charge for everything i've done/doin on my car

 

I'm not looking for show-stopper paint job, just a reliable and clean looking coat of paint.... plus, the roads in LA and OC are horrible so there'll be rock chips ... and i'm bound to get scratches and dings since i go to school in a community where people (scratch that, JACKASSes) don't appreciate how others look after their car with all their hearts... :madrant:

 

don't tailgate... and stay away from big trucks. this will help with the rockchips.
