Desperation!!!!! Paint Job

Desperation!!!!! Paint Job

Postby jdt.solara » Thu Feb 07, 2008 9:38 pm

I am in need of a cheap paintjob, doesn't have to look as great as factory, but I need a decent paintjob for around $200-450 maybe. Any body shops or such that do a decent paint job?

why not just spray paint it. 10-20 bucks. boom.
not best paint job, but I think it meets your needs. ;)

okay in all seriousness, with simple spray over crap job sure you might be able to get one at that price but doubt it. a usual decent job on just a bumper is like 200-300.

good luck man.

Maaco or Earl Scheib will probably be your cheapest choices.

Good luck... there is a reason they are cheap. You get what you pay for.

What a pointless question. You can start by saying where your from. For all I know I can paint a car but your located in china and I am from alaska.

And if your going to complain that it isnt a pointless question, then you must be good enough to search on your own for a local painting place near your area rather asking on the forum where no one even know where your from. I am sure your already aware of macco and all that crap.

From what I hae seen Macco is really hit and miss. I have seen some decent looking jobs from them, and some real crap too. I am going to have them re-paint my Celica this summer, but my expectations are pretty low. It's a daily driver, and 15 years old, so I just need a 5 foot paint job on it. I have to ask, why are you looking for paint on the cheap?
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Naw, Just saying that your asking for painting place recommendation but your not telling us where your from. Some place does not even have Macco and all if you understand what I mean.

In your first post you did not ask about macco so yeah.

You start another thread talking about how you want to do upgrades to your car and then you want to get a crappy paint job? :think: Whats the point in spending money on upgrades if your just going to get a crappy paint job...
