Anyone paint their whole car?
I just bought my fd and want to get it repainted. I was just quoted $4000. That just seems too much for this car.
has anyone repainted their car? What have you paid? Where did you take it?
Anyone in pa/nj/ny?
its a 93 VR FD. Any suggestions? Thanks.

That's reasonable, I was qouted 15K for mine, but I did all the bodywork myself. Won't do that again. Materials and getting it painted was around 3.2K.

My body is in good condition with a lot of little dings. He says the body work is only a couple hundred, it's the paint and labor that costs. He says they buff the body for 2 days at the end of it, and it gets a lifetime warranty.
Neofreak, I said "this" car because that price is almost half of what I paid for the whole thing.
I love the car, and want to keep it a long time. I'm replacing my Evo 8 with it, and I'm investing the money to get it right. But I'm just wondering if this is reasonable/wise. I was more expecting $1.5k to $2k as stated above.

I'm in Bucks. It is a good quality job. He says Dupont paint which I understand is top quality. When you say 4k is a good paint job, you mean it's a good price for a quality paint job, or that I'll be getting top notch work? Just want to clarify.
