Red will cost more than white just for the paint. Reds are suposed to be the most expensive colors to make because of the pigments.If the guy that caused the damage is truely your friend, You won't f*ck him over and expect him to pay for a complete paint job especially a color change. He is liable only for the damage he caused. If you make him pay for everything then he will be better off going thru his insurance and having to pay slightly increased rates than getting a** raped by you making him pay for a complete paint job!

Just got 2 estimates..One for the whole left side 100% finished, and one for just a door, quarter, prep and primer. First quote was $3600 and the second was $2077. Unless me n my friend can work out a deal, looks like insurance will be cutting me a check for the book value..."total loss"

this is correct.... the color red is unable to be artificly made... so is has to be dyed buy stuff found orgranicly... so yea red is almost always more as car as color stuff goes... i have a sn95 with black chrome rims and 15% tint and its looks pretty sweet... got smoked head lights and smoked the tail lights myself...

Go to a walmart parking lot and call the cops...tell them someone hit you there and get a report. No one will be at fault...it is kind of slimey to do it that way, but it will work.
