Well I called a couple body shops and this one stood out to me. He said that he could put my body kit on and paint my whole car (including door jams, engine bay. etc) with a good paint. (not like super show car material paint) But just a good paint with a pretty good finish for about $1500.00 Now I personally think this is a good deal! He said that he usually runs his paint jobs about 2000.00 but he told me he would go 1500.00 so I think that is pretty good! The color I told em I wanted was Highlighter Orange. So if you guys could let me know what ya think that would be great! Thanks,

P.S. I am not sure if this includes the door handle shaving with the poppers and alarm. If it doesn't then I will just have that done before hand, its only 450.00 for the poppers with an alarm and filling and primering both doors.

that's a good price............ don't know where your at but it cost me 2500 cash for my paint job and i'm out here in nyc area.... they wanted more at other shops but i knew this guy....

I live in Elyria Ohio which is about 30 minutes from Cleveland Ohio

-John.:thumbsup

thats a great price..is his work good have you seen any of it before..i have heard people paying 3,000 just to get there cars repainted and not getting all the extra stuff done..go for it..:thumbsup

yeah that 2500 was just to repaint the car... jambs were 4-600 more+

yeah he said its normally 2000.00 and up for his paint jobs but he would let me take it for 1500.00 including jams etc. I have seen his work before and i think its nice! Like i said the paint isnt SUPER SHOW QUALITY but its good enough to turn heads and say it looks nice. Which is what i want! I mean i am only 18 for crying out loud! Im not trying to win BEST PAINT JOB or anything, although..it would be nice....*drifts off thinking* ...........lol. Well thats what he told me though, so i figure what the hell lets try it! But i dont think i am going to get my kit molded to my car, cause then, if i decide to change it up in the future, its going to be a b**ch to do! But then again, i might just mold it though cause i have the BOMEX front (with fogs) and the rear so i dont think i am going to want to change it at all. Cause that kit is already TIGHT! I also have the invader sides...I am undecided at this time, lol..but anyways! Anyone else have input on this??

Thanks,

Allow the cheapie to butt in here...

I had mine painted for $290 at Earl Scheib. $40 extra per door jam



The yellow over spray was the fault of the last place I went to. Earl did great!

thats an awesome deal!!. i paid a lot more for mine.. like triple of yr quote!!! cause i went from slver to a custom made yellow three stage..and all jams!.. if u know its a quality paint job.. (no runs..etc).. do it!!

ps. .. eclipse's look good orange.. i have a pic of one here..but its not developed.. if you wanna see. i'll post it when its developed=)

I payed $2k for mine from black to completely blue with the shaving of door handles and custom made re-enforcement steel bars that go behing the front and back bumper covers so that I have some collision protectors..

I miss you mom, you are always with me RIP...

My gs was 2,300 plus they installed my body kit,wing and m-3 mirrors
