Hey everyone...im ready to start looking around in the LA area for places to get my car painted....i want to keep the color i have now but want all my dents/faded paint gone....i know that u can get a paint job anywhere from $300-$5000 but for a decent resparay job(dont need engine bay/jambs/trunk etc painted)and a little bodywork aprox how much do u think that wouls set me back....thanks in advance
heres the car:




thanks alot

 

bumpy

 

I didn't see the dent but IMO I would try using a clay bar and polish/wax/cleaner before I resorted to getting a respray.

The only part that looks faded is the roof, but what I suggested may save you some coin of getting a respray/paint job.

well the pictures dont really show how bad it is....the clearcoat is completly peeling from the hood and the paint is almost gone...also theres a couple other little dents that u cant see....thanks tho

 

 

ok bump

 

I'm in PA but i get all my car smoothed out, antenna shaved, front lip and side skirts on and respray entire car for 2500

 

thanks anyone else?

 

Well...my 90 CRX HF is in the body shop as we speak.

It is:
-getting smoothed out (removing various dents)
-aligning my EF8 front end properly
-installing my sidemarkers
-replacing the front radiator support & rear bumper cover

It is receiving an almost complete color change from the OEM white to Long Beach Blue Pearl (NSX blue). Everything except the engine bay is being sprayed...Including door jambs & rear interior (which is gutted)

Total damage: $2,700

 

gee i dunno. The paint looks really goo imo, why not just add some more flake and clear coat on it

 

Dude your paint looks fine. Just try the clay bar like ken said, they work wonders
Spend the money on some upkeep maintanance
