You get what you pay for...don't waste your money.
Have somebody recommend a body shop they have used before and there paint job still looks good after several years.........at the least $1500-$2000 for something half way decent

there have been stories of people who did the bodywork themselves (sanding, preping etc) and had the car sprayed for less than $1000... but if you want it all done professionally it wont be less than that unless you have a great hookup or take it to maaco..

^^ macco, Did a good job, paint looks good. 4 years warranty on the gloss. Just have to see how it's gonna look in several years. 600$ can't complain. Pay 4000$ for a paint job n' then later get keys or scratch then tough luck. Unless it's gonna be a show car or u have a lot of money

maaco is hard to judge as a general place. each shop is different. goto the ones in your area and ask them about their process. plus be sure to tell them exaclty what you want done.
