Alright guys, sorry for all my new topics but, Im in the look out for some good paint shops right now i got somewhere around 500-700 dollars to spend on a paint job (Please! no MAACO! thats the current job and it sucks) anybody got any suggestions? (looking for somewhere close to where i live, ie: fresno or Visllia (Sp?) )
Any help would be apreciated, Also im debating weither or not to clear the car as well, advice on this part would be helpfull as well.

Thanks!

I would do a good 2-3 coats on the clear as that is your protection adainst chips and scratches.

 

Well im sorta scared to clear the car, the car was painted around 2 years ago, from what i understand, its made me think twice about clearing the car, IF i can find a decent paint shop, that will take the time to paint the car right, i will talk to them about clearing and stuff, right now, the hole car has to be stripped to bare metal.

 

GrrRrrarRrrarrarrarrrr

"bear metal"

 

Ah shut up :P that was late at night, hmm, ill edit it now :P

if you find a paint shop that cheap that looks good than well they better get ready for a ton of cars

 

Found a place that would do a decent paint job for around 1k, door jams and all, hmm got to save up some more then... OH and has anybody seen the Dodge viper Blue? wonder how that would look on a 3rd gen.

 

where ill drive

 

Your point is?

 

your catching up to my posts fast

 

Hehe I'm tryin' my best bro

 

Well its 1k and up depending on color and such i believe, its down here in hanford, ill give you directions if you really want it.

 

$1k or so is a good price, sounds like a good paint job to me, what is the warranty on the paint? Oh, I agree with Steve, put on 3 clear coats to protect your new paint, plus it will shine and last longer. Viper blue is a nice color, I think it would look sweet on a thirdgen, you really can't go wrong with blues on our cars.

 

Dunno about the warranty, when i go back tomarow for another qote from them, they need to see where my rust is at and such, all ask them, I know i should have asked ealier but, the guy was in the middle of sprayin so... ill ask tomarow Now.. should i get the headlight sockets paited black or go viperblue with them as well? Thing is though... the paint outside.. is that something that i should be worried about at all?

 

When I repaint my car I am going to keep the headlights black, but that's just me. Some people like it different, you should go with whatever you like better, and I think it will look good no matter what you do. Are you saying they paint the car outside, not in a paint both? If so that is something I would worry about, you will get a bunch of dust and crap in the paint, I wouldn't pay even close to $1k for that kind of paint job.

 

ill pay 200 for my grand am
