I know some people here have painted the car themselves already, either some other colors or possibly BB? I don't know if anyone here has attempted that.
Well the real reason I made this topic was because I wanted to get some insight from the rest of you about painting the car. I've talked to a few painters already and I'm trying to get an idea of how much I'll be paying and what type of quality I can get. I even got in touch with West Coast Customs (the pimp my ride guys?) and they quoted me about 12k which I think is overkill. More, or less though, I figure I'll be paying about 4-5k for the paint job, including materials. I've talked to someone in my area and this is roughly what they quoted me. I'm wondering then for those that have painted there's or have some experience with it, what type of drawbacks you encountered painting the car and perhaps any recommended painters that will do a professional job at a not to ridiculous price. I live in the LA area in California.
I'm really looking to do more of a show room paint job and not just a factory paint job. So any comments or feedback would be appreciated.  |
I hope you ordered your Camaro in white, since that is the base color needed before sunrise yellow is applied over it..
