i'm going to be painting my car within the next month and i was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get my car painted in Maryland. my friend told about 1 place that did it cheap, but he said it wasn't the best job. i have a $800 budget and i don't really want to spend that much. anyone know of a place??

 

good luck getting a good paint job for 800, better start hanging out with someone who knows how to paint lol

 

for 800 bucks you're not going to get a quality paint job.

 

if you have the right friends, or know someone who works at a body shop you can get it done for 800$. i got mine done for like 1200$, and that included all the body work to get my kit to fit, shaving my antenna, some other body work, and clear coating my CF hood.. and my paint job has lasted a good 3 years, and still looks great

 

i guess i'll go with my friend then, lol. he knows ppl and got his car painted for alot less then 800. thanx though

 

yeah $1200 min for a good quality. I have a guy that paints my car but unfortunately my car has a lot of ripples. I really don't know what to say, but the farther north you go the more professional the people are take Germantown for instance they'll garuntee you a good paint but they'll tear a hole in your wallet.

 

Unless I see the work for who you guys are tralking about, I don't expect or pay less than 2-3g's for a FULL color change to include removing of windows, etc. You pay what you get. We do get a discount for our car club though at a BMW shop.

 

A FULL paint job like the one your talking about it probably going to cost more than 2-3 gs if you want them to take out the window seals, I dont know the tib that well but my avenger was a B*tch and in the end I really dont think it worth it because you really cant notice the diffrence, also a complete color change would mean removing your engine so you can paint everything in the bay!!!...Full paint job for me would be
Car itself
All the jams
The inside of the hatch
Under the hood, and the firewall
