im looking to get some body work and a full color change but im just doing the inside and engine bay myself i think. Just wanted a guess on how much it would be to do the color change?

 

Roughly an easy 1200 for a decent one, sometimes 1500. Pretty much you pay for what you get. I paid 2500 for a complete changeover and that was here is the car here is the money and done deal.

did you pull the motor yourself or did you just leave everything as is, drive the car there, and say, i want this color, now do it?

 

This is how I brought it to them.


About $1500 later, Inferno Red 3 stage paint.

 

D O P E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 LOVE THE CAR DUDE!

 

Wow, that's a job done RIGHT.

 

i'll say, thats clean man

 

holy ****...thats a complete change over right there.

 

Personally, I'm stripping down the whole interior, taking off the fenders, bumpers lights, hoods, doors, taking out the engine, wiring harness, everything down to the shell and I'm taking everything down to bare metal, primering, scratching, I'll let them paint it all one by one but I'm goina do the after paint myself.

unless your paint is really shitted and burned off by years of sun stripping to bare metal is not necessary the oem paint makes an excellent primer

Exactly. You only need to go to bare unless the factory paint is lifting or your car has had a repaint like 4 times or basicly if its real thick then you might want to go bare metal.

 

dude that paint job only cost u 1500?

 

1500 is about usual for a good paint job

 

i live in vegas, and i wanted to change my teg from red to CW. the cheapest ive found was 3000. that place does good work too. all the other places that are cheap are places that dont do good work. or they too half *** work. this place falconi acura wanted to charge me 4500. but thats for factory paint. i couldnt find any good place cheap so i decided to stay milano red.

Thanks man, They did a nice job because I made it as easy as possible to paint the car by taking the whole thing completely apart. That paintjob took them about a day to do.

Thats kind of a hook up price. He would usually charge about 2200 for the same job for anyone else.

The color changes in certain lighting so be sure its the color you want before you paint it. It is the same color off of the chrysler PT cruiser but the painter added some accents to it to bring it out more in the sunlight.

 

I was thinking of doing milano red again but now I think I'll do another shade of red. I'm going to try and find a color that is close enough to milano red so I won't have to do my engine bay.

same here. A guy around my area did it to his SI. I think he added pearl to it. It looks lighter than the stock color, but in some light it looks pink.
