Default Paint Question

I have my white sixer, and I know what I want to do (sorry syn and shadow)

I want to paint it sonic blue.

How much do you think that will run me? I'm talking about a mid grade paint job, not maaco, and not show car quality. Mid grade gas seems to get me along just fine, so paint will too.

Help me figure out much it will cost!! Pweeze

Probably about $3500-$6000 for a complete color change, that's a LOT of work to be done. Might as well just sell it and find a sonic blue car.

Mid Range will probably be around $3-4k and is really a waste.
Spend the $5-7k to have it done right.

The best paint place here in town is near $6000.

Hey cash talks. Go to a place. Say I have 5K IN CASH, what can you do? They might be interested as they could pocket the cash and not report it on their taxes....not that I would do anything like that but....

You should be able to get ANY color V6 for under $5,500 to be honest. The 99-04 V6s aren't exactly worth a fortune. You could probably find a GT for that price if you looked hard enough.
