You can get a quality paint job from MACCO for $1200-2000 dollars depending on the shop. $2000 for the one I asked in Sacramento Ca and $1200 for the one here in Springfield Mo for the same job.

Steps MACCO would take

*Strip car of paint including jams, under hood and under deck lid.
*Minor body work such as filling dents
*3-5 coats of primer
*3-5 Coats of color
*3-5 coats of clear
*Wet sanding is $250 per time.
*Use of a clean room
*Use of an Oven

Thats about as cheap as you can get for a Pro job.
Other quality shops start at $3000 and go up.

If you are not shopping at Macco then expect to START at $3000.

thanks for all the advice... i guess ill spend the money on some other mods in the future... for some reason i thought royal blue would look better w/ my 10K HIDs, but I'm definately going to get those fog lights, how does it work as far as turning them on from inside the car? is the wiring for that tough 2 do?

I do believe that the wiring is all there already, all you need is the button and the foglights.
But that is what I have seen on our 96', it might be different for you.
