Costs for paint

I've heard recent estimates ranging from $350-$500. But, unless your paint is perfect glossy, the newer paint will will really bring out the existing paints imperfections.

You get what you pay for. Have the whole car painted once the kit is installed.

seems like you got better answers by calling around than asking around here.

well, you do get what you pay for. have you seen what the $400 paintjob looks like? Any idea if people that had paint done there had any problems with paint flaking or bubbling after? That's stuff I'd want to know about.
