With paint you get what you pay for. If you want your car to look imaculate expect to pay at least $3500....

RE: paint job
You can get 2-3 hands of paint and 1 hand of clear from Macco for half that???
The fool is someone who think they are getting a 3500 paint job for $950......
Paint and supplies are expensive. Expect to pay more for better quality that last longer and looks better. Plus body work. The money is in the labor as well. Its a lot of spraying and even more sanding. If you dont want to pay for a professional job, they will find ways to cut corners. No one works for free.....
