$800 Paint Job!

[DriverOne]

I went over to a body shop in Easley to see if my frame was straight 'cause the alignment shop I went to said they couldn't get it straight. I left it there this morning and when I went back, I was happy to find that the car was fine, it was just a bad shop that I went to! Never going back to that shop again... Anyway, I asked him if he could do a body estimate for pulling dents & paint and he told me that for a small car, $800 would be all I need for all the work. Now all I have to do is shell the car out & take it to the sandblasting place next door! Alsa Corp Titanium Gray here I come!:thumbleft:

$800.00 is a good price.

850

i was willing to pay 500 no dents pulled. the painter said he wouldnt do it unless he could do it right. 850, i said i couldnt afford that all at once. he said i could make payments every payday. excellente. it will be ebony and be called beasts'tiva.

I've got nowhere near the skill or equipment required to paint a car... I just got over the "how to disassemble your interior, change your oil, filters, spark plugs and distributor" phase lol

I'm now trying to work on understanding what's going on with wiring and all that... But luckily stefan lives a block away from me... not only does he know a festiva inside and out... but he's also an electrician lol

I told the body shop owner what all I wanted done, and he said it'd be $800. That's with me buying my own paint, however. http://www.alsacorp.com/Merchant2/me...t_Code=ASB-03G Do you think I'll need a gallon? I thought maybe 2 quarts, but I don't know! A gallon will allow me to paint the spokes in my steering wheel, some of the trim pieces, and my custom trailer, which I plan on buying, oh... Next year maybe. I want to find a U-Haul trailer like this one:
but that's another story.

u could probaly paint your car a few times with a gallon lol.
