Default Just got a paint estimate...

Around $1700 to paint it Viper GTS Blue, with body work done and this excludes interior.

For the body work it's $438.00
Prepping is $199.00
And the paint package is $999.99.

What do you all think? Is there a better place to go then Earl Scheib? I been trying to find a local owned business to do it.

I really want the interior metal to match though, but then again after the cage I want to add just 2 10in subs and 2 6in speakers in two boxes on each side, (one 10 and one 6 on each side I mean) and while they do the boxes see if they will make a floor that can be lefted at the spare tire area and add the amp in there so they metal won't really be seen after I am done with what I am wanting, but will still be nice to match outside.


Or am I just an idiot.

Should we know what your "body damage" looks like? Cuz I don't. Interior metal? Do you mean under the carpet throughout the car?... or just in the door jambs and underside of the hood/trunk?

About pricing, are there other locally owned businesses that do this type of work? if so, go get an estimate from them. Price shop, that's all you have to do.

Yea, I got minor dents and a crack in the front bumper from previous onwer, not a big crack. And small scratches minus the scratch I put there putting the passenger seat back in.

And I mean under the carpet, and rear seats, I took those out and I'm trying to sell them, as soon as I find out how much others are selling for I will probably post them on here since Craigslist is getting nothing.

Well, I wouldn't let anyone sit back their anyways, people are messy and don't pick up after themselves. Not taking any chances, and want to add a cage and don't want it to go through the seats. I still have the front carpet, those are staying but I want new mats up there.

damn that seems like a lot, but I wouldn't know since I've never had a paint job. Paint $1000? I would guess it should be something like $100-$200.

Just the one coat no clear coat would be that much. The $999.99 is three coats and clear coat plus lifetime warrenty
