Do you want to know how much Chromalusion paint runs or regular paint? Chromalusion is VERY expensive. You're looking at between $300-$600 for just a QUART. If you go with regular paint like Dupont, or PPG, then you can get away with everything you possible need (primer, paint, clear, solution mixers) for about $250-$300.....again depending on where you go. That's the price that I could get everything for. If you want any custom colors like pearl or granite, or even microflake for the clear, it'll be just a tiny bit more expensive. The reason why it would take like 4 days or so is because I would sand your car down to bare metal, and then do all the paint work. I would also do your door jambs, but not your entire engine bay. I don't have the right tools to take the engine out and fully paint inside the bay, but I could get some of it. Also, if you decide to get your car painted, you should save up and get some other things like shaved door handle kits, small body kit, spoiler, etc... That way you can everything painted and installed at once.
A friend of mine has Beretta and last summer he came to me and told me he wanted his car to be a show car. I asked him what he wanted done, and he said to surprise him. I kept his car for 2 weeks, and made sure he didn't see it during the buildup. In that time period, I sprayed a full Tangerine Orange paint job with light blue TRIBAL flames. I also shaved all emblems, handles, installed a sliding rag top, and lowered it. He basically gave me the money and told me to do what I have to do. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I have pics of it before and after, and it's a completely different car. When he came back after 2 weeks and seen it, I thought the kid was gonna need a new pair of underpants. I've never seen someone so happy.
Anyway..sorry for babbling, but basically what I'm saying is that if you have the cash and you want your car to be a complete show car...I can do it. Or myself and everyone else on this board can help you along the way to get there. By doing things yourself, you get a better sense of accomplishment, and when or if you ever do decide to get rid of the car....you can TRULY say, "This is MY car. No one else did anything, and I am the one that made this car with it's current personality." <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Ahhhh ... building vehicles...... now if you excuse me...I must go out to my garage and do some more fun stuff to my little red Lo Shark. <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
