nice paint job that won't break the bank?


Recommended Posts

Posted

anyone know any places in Norfolk, Va that won't break the bank? at minimum I need to at least get a touch up on my paint cuz right now the rear bumper is chipping like crazy and there's scratches all OVER the place. but I would actually kinda like to get a cammelion paint done but it's a $7000 car so I would rather not pay $4000 on a paint job if yano what I mean lol

Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Nice and cheap never mix.

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

I hear great things about plasti-dip. Should cost under 500 bux to spray it yourself. Under 1 grand if you can get an experienced friend to spray it.

to my knowledge I don't have any experienced friends lol

true if I can do it right. if not then I wind up wasting $500 and a few hours doing it myself and wind up going from "it would be nice to get a new paint job" to "I gotta get a new paint job cuz my car looks like it was attacked with a bunch of little kids with BB guns" lol

If it's just certain body panels, go to a junk yard or look online on forums etc. and buy the same part off another car that got totaled or was bought for parts. In the same color that is, to avoid having to repaint that. The only thing you will end up dealing with then possibly is one panel being slightly different color because one is more sun faded etc. Otherwise no, there will be no cheap option to get the car repainted properly. Painting a car is no easy task, it takes a lot of time and prep work to make it come out nicely. There are places like maaco that will do a cheap paint job, even for an entire car. But I've never met anyone that was happy with it. I've seen them ruin a few good cars even that people had taken in to have a body kit etc. put on and ended up being out even more money just fixing their screw ups.
Only reasonable option you have is to do plasti-dip. It's a very good option and I've seen several cars that have been entirely painted with it and had it turn out nicely. Take good care of it, and it will hold up.

isn't something like painting a car kinda something you should do in a clean somewhat sealed off garage so you don't get dust and crap in the paint while it's drying anyway?

If you're just looking for a good quality but yet cost effective paint job go to a Maaco, they're fairly priced and can do a great re-spray. Usually for same color re-spray is about a grand or so through them
