Where did yu get your paint job done, how much did it cost and post a picture of it.

 

Where: high school paint booth and painted by me.
How much: I'm guessing around 400 dollars for all materials.
Picture: it's almost a year old, taken while wet sanding the clearcoat.

I've decided to paint it black after I get a new cowl hood within the next couple of months.



Here's a new pic taken a few days ago..

I wish i knew how to do my own painting...
how about people who had it professionaly done?

 

Pic taken yesterday, paint now 3 years old and counting. PPG gloss black done by a local collision center. About $1500.

 

is it easy to paint a car urself? im getting on in less then a month (YAY! COUNTDOWN TIME!) and im assuming the paint is gonna be shot since the car is 13 years old. but i cant drop 4 grand for a paint job. any ideas? (MAACO around here sucks)

 

It's easy if you know what you're doing Take an ROP class (Regional Occupation Program) or collage night class for auto body repair/paint.

 

No, one else has photos??

Nice Camaros, I am going to look at a 1897 TPI IROC this weekend, from the picture and what i am been told the paint is great, only a dent.

 

$3600 for getting the back left repaired after a girl backed into it. Also got the whole car repainted.. should have been more expensive but I knew the guy as friends and he did it for cheap for me.. also has lifetime fade/ peel/ chip garuntee.. so if anything happens to my baby.. I get it redone for free.. yay! I forget the name of his shop though... his last name collision.. I can't remember his last name right now

Hey camaro6spd, what does an 1897 IROC look like? It's got to be worth a fortune!

Jesus Christ, Mo, I can see your reflection with the camera in your hand! My dad and I painted my car in the driveway with black lacquer for abotu $100 worth of paint. It turned out real nice, but lacqer sucks!! gotta wax it like every 2 months and polish the hood alot cus the sun dulls it. I want base coat-clear coat!

I'll second that.

Thanks. The pictures I have really do not do the paint job, or the work of the painter, the justice it truley deserves. Some days you can barely tell what color the car is because it is so reflective. Gotta give some thanks to Zaino for that as well. We just got a new digital camera at work so hopefully I can take some better pics as soon as I pull it out of storage.

The hood is from American Sports Car Designs. I think I paid $425 for it.
