I'm goin to buy a prelude for a nice price, but there is some dings and scratches so I may as well paint it...championship white.

So how good do you think a paint job that is around 2000 to 2500 bucks.

That's how much I'm willing to spend.

Anyways have this prelude is why I want it championship white. Anyone knows the info on it, color spec, how much, this and that. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

MY $2500 body/paint job:







Pretty much flawless, but it was at his shop for about 6 months. You just have to find someone that does good work for the price and have lots of patience!

And for those of you curious about the progress on the RHD (To make it SOMEwhat Tech related!):

Beautiful paint man , and let us know how that RHD turns out.

 

dude i just came in my pants over your car!!!

 

I see that you're in MN. I paid around that price for my paint job. I had it done my Tom and his buddy, in Maple Lake, MN. He fudged me over on my '96 Prelude VTEC paint job. For one, the fool did not paint the SOLID sliding sunroof. He masked it over, thinking it was glass. Horrible amounts of overspray. Terrible paint job. "Orange peel" look all around.

If in Saint Paul, MN, and you want to check out my fudged up paint job, let me know.

I'm goin to have to redo their paint job and body work. This time, I'll do it myself.

Good luck.

 

2500 over here in texas can get you full paint job . door jams trunk everything. for 2500. i got a quote of 2800 with engine bay painted. this quote is from one of the best paint shops in houston.

 

over 2 g's better bee good!

 

Thats how much a MobWorks job is. And thats the best you can buy

 

ive seen really good paint jobs that were $800, so i can only imagine how good a $2000 job is

 

^

 

Miguel @ Mob works charges...like 3 g's for a full job. That's a show job though. Paint only what's seen, like 2,000 - 2,500. They do some good **** though. I'm saving to go there.

 

mobwork sucks.

Any evidence to back that up. Or do you just have your own paint shop.

 

Mobworks is good, definitely not the best. Theres a lot of paint jobs out there that cost upwards of 5K.

6 months???!!! My God, that is a long time. I was getting pissed because my car has been in the paint shop for 3 weeks. I paid $2200, it should be done by Wednesday and I'll post some pics.

Mob does some good work. But there's always someone better.

 

Mob looks good enough to me, they seem to do good work from what I've seen and especially for not keeping them in the shop forever. Which is good for people like me without a daily driver.

 

I'm getting mine painted metallic black right now for 2g's. (I know the owner ) I'll post it up when I get it out soon.
