Got a price quote for 98 integra that has no rust and is currently Milano Red, going to have it repainted milano red. I got a quote for $4000 from a very reputable shop which includes shaving mouldings and antenna, removing all trim pieces for paint. (base and clear)

what do you guys think?

 

Yep that sounds about right for that amount of work if they do quality work.

 

Yes any paint shop that will do a "Good" job will cost about that much. I was quoted $3000 by a good shop for them to just respray my car the OEM color even if I did all of the prep work.

You can always take it to Maaco

 

Maaco ya right.. No problem paying that amount but i've shopped around and the prices have varied quiet a bit.. this is the only shop i actually feel comfortable leaving my car at. So i was curious to know what the car community thought

 

While it's a reasonable quote for the work to be done, it's a lot of money to spend on a car that might not be worth all that much more than that. Obviously, it's your car, and if you want to make it look great, this may be the way to go, but...

 

4000$. ya right. I wouldnt pay more then 2000$ for what your getting done.

 

Your throwing your money away in my opinion, but if you have it to blow then why not? $4000 paint job for a car that is worth $4000... Why not sell the car and use the cash to buy something newer?

 

Same reason I don't buy a new Kia and bought a used s2k instead
