Not in the Dallas area, but a pretty good price from a decent body shop won't go hand in hand. When changing the color and going to the WDP with the 3 stage paint, you're talking about BIG bucks to have the job done properly.

Ask the local dealer for a reference, then just stop in and see what they say to get an idea of the price, but you had better be sitting down if it's a decent shop.

How much are you looking to spend? From the few people that have had their cars repainted here from a good shop, it'll run between $6-$10K. Maybe better off buying a WDP?

Even a cheapo job is gonna run you $2000 +

If you really want a WDP that bad, sell your car and buy one.

If you post on dallasimports.net you will get a response. I will tell you it will not be cheap unless you decide to do most of the prep work. Still the paint and labor itself is pretty pricey.

Your better off just trading your car in for wdp tl. Its not worth it spending that much money on a color change.

Unless you want a different color other than what Acura offers.

I'd stick with the NBP or trade it in for a WDP.
