98344, $50 paint job
Posted by RoninEclipse2G, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
http://rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html

I'm thinking of trying this since the paint on my 95 2g is pretty hashed from letting the car sit for 3 years and I can't even afford to have maaco do the job with my prep, at least until i can save up for a real paint job like ed :)

That would have saved me some cash....


In all seriusness, you should have read my post about the $10,000 minimum paint job they quoted me at Greewalds, fucking asholes.

If I was broke, and my paint was going to hell, Ide try it, and if I ended up hating it, Ide just flat black it with sprays :P

$10K? When i worked at a body shop, i figured for a full custom paint job it only would have cost $7k and that was letting the guys do all the prep and replacing mouldings, etc. closer to $4k if i did most of the prep

didn't say it wasn't, I belive my words were I'm broke, and i want my car one color, it'll probably be flat or satin black, and if i hate it, I've got sandpaper!

Yea $10k, for repainting my car red, no custom paint or anything, just factory red. And they kept telling me how they would probabbly have to keep the car for over 4 months. I found th estimate again, Ill take a pic of it.

I want to be an engineering intern at the EOL (Earth Observing Laboratory) in Denver. I was just there in january and fell in love with the place, downtown, Aurora, and the Cherry Creek area are beautiful. Loved the snow and the people where really nice too. :)

Might have been because I was there when there was like 2 feet of snow everywhere, and only for like 1 night and one day, after that I went to the Hyatt next to the Conv. Center, but I'de be living in Boulder anyways (if i get the internship, which I hope I do), sorry mates :cry

give me a couple more weeks to wait for the weather to warm up and buy the supplies, and you can have yourself a laugh fest, although if it thins to the right consistency, I might just give it a whack with the spray gun

I'm trying to decide between flat black or maybe a satin black finish, maybe I'll start with the satin, and if I don't like it I can switch to flat, I just want the car a solid color until I can save for a real paint job
