Thanks. The paint is called daytona blue. From the 350zcolors. Maaco is having the presidential sale rite now, wich is really good. Total came out 900 bucks because i had alot of door dings and some minor dings on my fenders. But all that is getting fixed. Cant wait tilll i get it on wednesday.

OMG that is so sweet... my T-bird is painted that PT cruizer blue, but I would have chose that over it... darker looks nicer... but ya how do repaints hold up... a local shop did mine and it wasn't a year later and it's shitty as hell they didn't even sand at all, road chips you can see green through blue... so not too bad but not great either

I have the stock Talon Blue and I want to repaint my car to anohter blue. That is the most percet blue in the world, I love it. It is totally insane and exactly what I am gonna paint mine.

Amazing Choice!!!

How much did it cost you for just the paint?

george, why does you headgasket need replacement?
Its leakin oil, and its been buggin me for about a month now. i dont have the other symptoms of milky oil and overheating but im pretty sure its coming from there. im going to replace my valve cover gasket first and see what happens.

Right now because of their sale it cost 800. with 3 year warranty. my friend got the same type of paint job on his intrepid, he got black, and it costed him 1,300, 2 months ago. so he payed more 500 more. the cheapest job that they have at maaco is like 600 bucks and thats the ambassador. I got the presidential.

Ill post pics when i get my car back, see what you guys think.

So, it cost you 800 for just the paint or the whole job??? Cuz that is a wicked deal.

It is almost worth it for me to drive down from canada to get it done there. That is huge.

Especially for that kinda blue, is it not usually expensive? Would they be able to ship the paint out up here and I could have it done here?

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks

i got like that cuz of the deal there having rite now in my area. in other maaco, their charging about 1,300-1,400 to get your car repainted a different color without getting the cheap one. Im not quite sure how much for just the paint, ill call them up and see what they say. Maaco wasnt my choice, but thats what my insurance wanted me to send it.
