paint job

[RiceRocket18]

what much does a reasonable paint shop charge for painting a pair of side skirts ($200? or $500?) i am thinking about getting a pair of new side skirt and just wanna know how much i might be spending. oh and i live in east coast.

i really couldn't tell u that... i got a guy that has had cars in low rider mag to paint my eclipse. i just repainted it stock black and i got my whole car done for 600 bucks and it was a fuckin awesome job. i happier than shit with it. i got it done cheap tho cause me and his son r good friends.

but my boy in alamo , nm did his side skirts and front clip for like 300 bucks so to do ur side skirts i'm prolly guessing around 200 to 250 bucks.

hope that helps and best of luck wit the paint job

u dont just paint one part of the car. ur original paint is prolly faded, and the new paint will be darker.

yes it's true. but peopel still get paint job done on part of the car. and there's detailing if it needs it.

It is not that big of a difference. Unless your car is VERY old and not well taken care off (ie. washing, waxing, polishing)

nah my car looks great i jus got it back today and i'm happier than f**k wit the job he did.he did a great job of blending the paint and then buffed the whole car over and it looks great . you can't tell the diff at all and when i get my dig camera back (sometime soon hopefully ) i'll post pics of it. and after i wash it

hahahaha sounds like u dont know what ur doin i wouldnt try if i were u....i do this type of work...any ways ur supposed to only prime of body work and over bare metal its epoxy primer(helps with corrosion protection) reg high build uerethane primer, sealer if needed and then base and then clear
i usually use PPG DBU or deltron/ 2000 or if u want some thing different than any one else go to house of colors....

BlackShadow did you get that!!!?? cause i sure have not idea what the fuck he was talking about. LOL

one thing GOBEEFUPINHERE... since you do this type of work.. i was askin how much it would cost to get a side skirt painted. like what would be a reasonable price to paint a pair of side skirt. also, do you usually charge money to put it on too?.. cause i do'nt know how to put it on myself.

just labor u could find some one to do it probably for 200-250 sanding and painting....instalation of stock ones or a body kit also matters if any modifications needed but instalation shouldnt b more than 100 total = 500 with paint included w/instalation....or better yet go buy some from a junk yard the same color and save a whole lot of money

[RiceRocket18]

... that's a lotta $$ for that little side piece.

[GOTBEEFUPINHERE]

yup or u could find a hak that can do it all for 150 but u wont like the out come
