Default GOT oWned.... Need a new paint job all around...

yesterday was cleaning my car at the car wash place and
some dood came up to me and offered me to repaint my bumper
and fix the fender paint as well.. to make the story short.. i talked him down
to $60 and he did the job infront of me, the thing is while he is doing it, it became night time.. and now i just looked at this morning...just found out i got owned pretty bad, he did a pissed poor job on the painting..and it got all over the place..

lesson learned...


now i need a new paint job..mite as well get the whole car repainted..

where should i get it in OC, Socal ?
know any good place that doesn't charge over a g for it ?

ouch ... well dont go ALL around then ... just exterior u can probably find a good job for about 1grand or so get it repainted same color as orignal or go with a slightly diff color.. such as u got frost white car u should go champ white or pearl white or orginal color... it will save 2 grand takin out interior and engine is bisnatch

You can go to Macco and they can do it for prob under $500. However, if you want a good job it's gonna cost you. I paid $2500 for a full repaint, and that was with a hookup.

When I said full, I just meant the outside. It was $2500 for the paint job, just the outside. I DID NOT get the jams and engine bay painted.

This was the best deal I could find in my area for a REALLY good job. I was only willing to go somewhere that I knew would do an awesome paint job.

Depending on what you're looking for, you can prob find a cheaper place. Like I said, I'm sure you can get Macco for under a grand.

Thats probably the easiest location to find a nice paint shop. Just search.
