Angry Prep and paint, cost? Ct paint shops no any?

What do you think it would cost to have my car prep and painted? No im not going to prep it myself, ill **** it up...


so i was putting my street bike away and notice four 13'' scratches on the left and right rear of the car about an inch apart, two on each side!!! Looks like some one drag a key down the side!! the car has been in the garage for 2 weeks, so i find out it was my jean's rubbing up on the car!! WTF, some f@g thought of putting them useless metal things that stick out of the corner of your jean pockets!! Its a tight space to get to my toolbox which is behind the car. some times i reverse my car in and that S HOW both sides have the scratch..

Ill take pics if you guys want to see it... So im pisst, now my car looks like ****... the scratch went over the blue gas lid door, so now i have the black one on which i was going to put bake on anyways. ... but im so made ill just wast my money on a new paint job, even tho its will cost me about the same as buying another civic or a civic shell....!!!


Please give me reasons why to get a new paint job, so i don't think its a wast of money.

they're called rivets, and they make the jeans stronger along the corners of seams... jeans were invented for coal miners. Think about it...

don't walk so damn close to the car.


the whole car prepped and painted with quality paint?
$1000 (thats if you want ONE color... not 4)

forgot to mention... that quote is for a respray, not a color change.

no, it's not worth the money.

get some meguiar's scratch x, some polish, and some wax. do them in that order, and i bet the scratches will go away if they're not deep.

i have Fix It Scratch Remover by simoniz(first time using it). it didn't really work, it didn't remove the scratch, but i don't see any thing that will because its not like a mark and its not really deep its a white scratch line. i only did a little part to see if it would work, it only shine it up it made it look better i guess, but its still there...idk,
