Just curious if you have gotten any estimates on the price... I am going to get my car painted soon too. I have always liked the deep blue with white stripes.

if your gonna go to any other color but red be careful ...especially i ur getting a quote for $500 ...trust me about 1/3 of the $500 will go towards materials ...how much labor do you think you will get for the remainder .....you get what you pay for ( friend of a friend or not) ...if you wanna change colors and get a good qulity job i promise you will not be happy unless you spend over 3k ...painting takes alot of work to do it right .....bodyshops can do a bad paint job just the same as maaco

Competition orange looks bad a$$. It was a limited color from ford on the 03-04 cobras along with some other years. Looks awesome in person.

You want to stand out? Bright pink.
