yeah. i'll probably just take it to a well known local place here in town or something. tommorrow i'm going to do some calling around and find out some prices...but see i also wanna get my body kit molded on and **** too, so i guess it'll be a little more for the little body work. but yeah, thanks bro.

There are a lot of factors involved...first if it's a color change you need to paint all the jams...unless you want a ghetto ride. If there are any dings dent that need to be repaired that will add to the labor time. Either way you usually get what you pay for. I suggest doing it right and remove all the trim, lights, door handles...nothing is more tacky than tape lines!!!

i don't suggest molding any kit. it will crack no matter how great the body man is. i know several people that have done this or got it done even trailor queens that showed the lines after a year...

You could just prime it yourself and do the 300 dollar maaco job, good paintjob, but they suck at priming

Yea,now I see why it cost some much for paint it is a dam art form.I am painting my civie and I am almost ready for paint. I primered it again yesterday and that gravity feed gun you have to go straight through it not like no stopin at the end.the trigger is a mo foa,to much and you got a bltch not enough and it will not go on smooth.Under good supervision of a master painter I shall make it.
