Guys i wanna paint my car a nice black. Everyone keeps telling me not to do it because it wouldn't be worth the price of the car and i might as well just trade it in for a car that is already painted that color. The problem with all that was that the car carries sentimental value to it and i cant get rid of it. I have no plan to get rid of my car, ever. Does anyone know a decent price for a great paint job? Estimate time, many other things i can do?

 

If it were me I would spend the big bucks ie 7000-10,000 for a top notch job. Good luck either way

 

true, everyone keeps telling me not to go through with it, but im going to do it anyways. I think im just going to leave it to the end so that i dont end up scratching the paint while i work under the hood.

 

yeah, if you spend less than $5k on a color change then you are gonna get a crappy job. you arent going to want that kind of paint job on a saleen.

 

$5000 job at the least for something good. if you have never had a black vehicle, let we warn you it is a b*tch. that being said it is also the only color i buy. when it is clean it is one of the nicest colors. but the trick is trying to keep it clean.

 

Haha thx, i usually try and keep my car looking clean. I wash it once a week and it still takes me an average of 3-5 hours before i'm done. I just love the way black looks makes my heart start beating faster and faster.

 

myth i know exactly what you are talking about. to me there is not another color that looks as nice when it is freshly wax with a nice shine.

 

thx man, anyone know a good shop around the west side that wont rip me off?

 

You should keep your car red. Saleens are sick in any color!

 

thanks, but it's always been my dream to have black. just something about the color.
