i live in arizona and drive a green 95 teg ls and it gets way too hot in the summer. i want to paint it silver stock, but i dont know any places i could take it. ive heard places like macco do pretty shitty jobs on paint. does anyone know of a good place to go and around what price i will have to pay. im hoping not to go over $1000

i dont think you'll find any paint job that can be done decently under $1000. $1000 would be enough to paint certain parts like a body kit. but a real decent paint job for the whole car could cost you $3000-$4500

uhh...I have to disagree you should definitely be able to find someone to do a decent job for around $1400. Maybe a little less if you do the per work yourself.
