maco! Good luck cheap skate...

Just save for M.O.B.

 

Cheap Skate??? I don't know about that I already shell out 10k on the car with a bunch of JDM goodies. Its a daily driven car I don't need a 2k paint just something reasonable like 900-1300, if you know what i mean.

well, if you can shell out 10k on JDM goodies, you can shell out 2k on a reasonable paint job.

 

yeah i guess i think about it

 

Is it just a re-spray or a full color change?

 

Macco... UGH

i've heard nothing but horror stories about them...
one of my friends cars was done by them... and UGH. Sloppy mess.

 

take it to evans...there paint jobs clown all over mob's paintjobs...(trust me ...its a proven thing) ..plus there half as much...

 

Prep it yourself and then have maaco spray it if you're not wanting to spend a bunch on a respray.

 

Just think of it this way..... You get what you pay for. I've seen Macco paint jobs and i've seen M.O.B. and other high quality shops paint jobs. I paid $3370 (not at M.O.B.) for my old paint job and never had any problems with chips on the front bumper hood or fenders, and I drove that car 100+ miles a day. On top of that, when the car was done I had a full 1 year warranty against chips or defects.
You obviously care enough about your car to paint it, do it right the first time!!!

 

I think you guys spend too much money on the paint jobs on your civic's... $2k+ on a paint job for a daily driven civic seems like overkill IMO.

anyway, if you want to find a good price on a good paintjob. find a guy in your town who works at a good bodyshop and get him to paint your car as a side job

 

better get macco!lol, A professional paint job cost about 3-4K.

 

since you're in Long Beach try http://www.collisionworks.com it's 1/2 block from the southwest corner of Anaheim st & Atlantic ave. that's were I got my car painted at. talk to Vic or Mike (good customer service people ) my car was malino red then I resprayed it to fire pepper red pearl metallic(02' TL color) Everybody who has seen my new paint job has argeed that it is the smoothest and reflective paint they have seem, basically it looks like a whole new car. btw I paid $1200 for paint job and worth every single penny.

 

Any pix of your car? My sister wants her RSX to be resprayed too and I'm shopping around for her.

How did you pay that little? I was quoted at $2k minimum for a red hatchback.

 

im paying 1780 for a COMPLETE paintjob of my car

thats engine bay, WHOLE INSIDE FRAME, and um the outside of the car too.

My brother paints lowriders for a living, so I know he knows his ****. Because a lot of cholo's in the lowrider magazines wouldnt like him very much lol.

 

the best shop for any body work, paint, and cosmetics is hands down
AA AUTO BODY in Panorama City (just outside Van Nuys).

now was that for the inside too? because it would've costed me $2100 if I wanted to paint the inside also. the $1200 is just for the outside and door jams. btw the owner is a friend of my friend so he gave me a good price.

 

pj bonafico in industry. He (his guys) painted my friends Fiat Abarth... Nicest paint job i've ever seen.

i probably spelled the last name wrong.. who cares.
