Dude, where is this guy??? What's his shop's name??? 600 is a pretty good deal. That is if you're talking about w/ paint and supplies and everything. Do you know how many coats of paint/clear he'll be using???

Do you even know what you are talking about?
FYI: There is a world outside the dealer.

At least this guy is on the ball and asked questions. Rule of thumb, you get what you pay for... Here is some insight: The Labor isnt in the paint spraying as it is in the preparation. If you dont mask or take certain parts off the body for spraying, you will see the difference between an amateur and professional job.

Secondly, what kind of paint is being applied. Yeah, $600 is great if you dont care for details and just want a quick and dirty job. How much are you getting charged for the paint? another $500 wouldnt make this deal so sweet dude...

Cheers

I couldnt even recognize the eclipse he was working on (it was so stripped down). If any of you guys have ever seen the white prelude with the wide body kit around. well he did it and its the best looking prelude ive ever seen it looks oem.

Nirvana auto tech its in forest park. The number is 404 361 4450 and hes ase certified..

oh yeah this includes painting body kit as well. The paint is coming from a large top notch company. Ill have to get back to you later.... And another 500 for supplies wouldnt make this a good deal. If you know a pro. that can fully paint my car and body kit milano red(which is more expensive) for less than a 1k let me in.
