to paint my front bumper, rear, and skirts to match the car (northstar white) will pay extra if you could do a fade into a cobalt blue.

also willing to drive to parts of NY and PA. thanks

ill paint them if u cant find anyone in jersey . u dont want to fade into cobalt blue . i tried that with my car and it looked like shit . i fade good too . it just white doesnt fade into cobalt right . but ill definitly paint it white tho . w12 is the code right right ?

no blue looks good for fading?

white doesnt fade into cobolt blue well, usually darker colors ]fade better.

try Optikal, hes in Maryland, he might be willing to drive up there if you have a place he can paint.

have him contact me i could drive cuz i have no where for him to paint.

damn i was looking for body painter in Jersey too. If you find somebody let me know too

well if you wanna pay around 650 you can go straight to optikal he does a good job. personally, i was looking for around 300 and less so that doesnt fit my budget

well to bad u didn't want to come to ohio i have a friend that is doing mine for 250...that is the sills, jams everything, and he will respray it until u like it

when i do a quality allover paintjob i usually have anywhere from 300-600 in materials alone. how people can do quality work for less than the cost of materials is beyond me.

Oh the guy i was talking about was just 250 in labor, i have about 550 in materials so far

not looking for PERFECT paint job. as long as it matches and doesnt chip in a year its fine. less than 350. ill drive to you.

Lol, dude. That's outrageously cheap for a fade. I don't even think Maaco will do it for that much.

damn i wish i could bring my car to you but it aint running right now and i'm waiting to hear from a shop so i could bring it in to get swap done. If you were close by i would probaly ask you.

Just quick question i want a good paint job that will last me long time. So how much would this cost?? including engine bay, door jams... etc.

i do that job for 3 - 4 grand all day long. most people think that's too much but you get what you pay for when it comes to paint and body work and i do mostly show quality work for much more than that. price depends on the condition of the body and whatnot. gotta pull a bunch of stuff to get the engine bay painted and stuff. it's actually pretty cheap compared to what most shops are charging.

well hes only a 3 hour drive from me. and thats according to yahoo maps, so really only like 2 hours and 15. not too bad if you ask me, plus driving on i-95 is loads of fun

yea it's probably not that bad of a drive. i'm kind of booked up for awhile but i have one bay opened right now.

Yeah i understand its only 3 hrs drive and i'm willing to do it. But like i stated above that i need outer tie rod replace and i need to get the motor swap done. Because i want get paint between doors, trunk, engine bay. I figure since motor will come out why not get a good paint job that i could afford.

Yeah but let's just say i do get my car running but shouldn't the motor move from the car to paint the engine bay area??

Just curious i wanted to paint my car Lexus Is300 graphite gray but keep the roof black. So how much would this cost?

let's carry this over to PM's if you are seriously interested in getting something done.
