Pretty soon i will be looking to get my car painted. Is there any place in North Jersey that are good and don't charge an Arm and Leg for a paint Job?

You might want to see if you have a MAACO in your area, they have different stages of paint jobs for different prices.

I think the cheapest is $300 if im not mistaken, the only problem with MAACO paint jobs is they dont really prep the car, and well prepping is 90% of a paint job, the acctual sparaying portion is fairly easy(With a bit of practice).

If you did all the prep work yourself for instance(Fixing all dents sanding the entire car reall good, then either drive the car there and take your lights off and other crap you could get a decent paint job for pretty cheap. Or do all the prep at your house, and trailer it to a MAACO....

Just my 0.02, hope it works out...

Are you wantying tio spray the entire car? Enigine bay, interior as well? If thats the case, you will have to strip the car completely basicaly, and trailer it to MAACO. Thats if MAACO sprays interior, and engine bay im not too sure. If you have a nice garage you could do it yourself with rustoleum, you can use a paint gun or roll it on with foam roillers.

Here is a link of a member of CB7tuner.com who rolled it on with a roller. If you scroll thru you will see the before and after pictures along with the details on how he did it.

How this helps. And using rustoleum paint means you dont have to primer, or even clear tha paint...
