Man you guys are getting ripped. Unless you're gettin a whole bunch of like extra paintings on your car - multicolored. My friend got a paint job on his 92 camaro, white with 2 blue racing stripes for 1300. It's probably the nicest paint job in this area. Looks sweet.

Yeah, thanks guys. I'm gonna keep looking. My guy friends are trying to hook me up. we'll see, I've got a green integra kinda like one of you guys, I'm trying to get it done in Pearl-white like the Prelude, someone said it'd cost more? Then I was thinking about gunmetal.. but it'd look weird. Ahh I dont know! and.. someone else said to get someone to strip off all the paint and take it to macco to paint it cuz they usually just put primer and paint over cars thats why it sucks? I dont know!

Stay away from macco and don't listen to anybody who tells you different. The reason they suck is b/c they use cheap materials and they don't take time to do all the steps involved with a good paint job. And yes any pearl paint will up the price b/c it takes longer to paint the car(extra step involved) and the paint is more expensive. Some paints already have the pearl mixed in so the extra step is not required but the paint is more so the price will go up. Cheap colors are black, white, blue etc. Expensive paints are # most expensive is silver metalic then red, green metalic, and anything metalic pretty much. I would say paint it back the stock color that is going to be the cheapest thing to do, b/c they will not have to paint the door jambs and under the hood and in the hatch etc.

another thing integragurl is that maaco will not paint your engine compartment or door jams or inside the trunk, they will more or less mask the outside hit it with some shit paint/primer and send you packing and pocket their 300 bucks
