Before/During/After.
With one month until I can start driving my car again
I have decided to get it repainted (Well 95% of the car). There was rust, dents and paint discolor on the car and guy said If you want a good job I have to repaint the whole car but hatch and bumpers. I said ok and after one week in shop its getting painted tomorrow. I have before pics and right now I have photos of the car in shop since its right next door to me. Here you go.

Re: Before/During/After.
More money that I dont have and that paint is still fine. Bumpers would have increased it another $400 and my mom is paying for a lot of this because she backed into my car. Im just paying for my rims to be redone and decals to go back on car.

Re: Before/During/After.
The entire project is running $1500? I also have a white camaro that is need of a paint job and I'm really curious to know how much a good paint job will run me, $$ and time wise.

Re: Before/During/After.
Yes but this is my friends dad and he didnt wanna charge me a lot. He said bod shops would cost $3500-$5000 and he got rid of all the rust I had, even the rust I didnt see
Re: Before/During/After.
Ahhhh ok. I guess $3500-5000 ain't that bad. I have some bad rust spots that are really an eye sore :/ and I have the original clear coat peeling off in certain spots. My car looks like its shedding :/
