If 500 gives you the a temp fix you need meanwhile you shell out the big bucks, why the fuck not?

Negative Nancys here are just retarded. Who knows what position any one is in to criticism them. Thank you to the OP for offering the services.

500.00 is a deal and looks very decent.

Just remember fellas, you get what you pay for! So don't pay $500 expecting a $3000 paint job!

^ I agree but I think mine came out way better than I expected, paid $267, and some people who paid more looks worse than mine. My .02

Where'd you go?

Likethunda · 08-13-2012, 01:03 PM

yeah, Just remember that i was on a Budget, and didnt want my car looking crappy. and i also didnt want to spend thousands on a paint job. I got exactly what i payed for, which was a very good paint job for a Very reasonable price. My car was now presentable instead of looking crappy. people would now give me compliments instead of telling me to get a new car. Just my .02

I'm not trying to bash on you and put you don cause I'm on a budget as well. I'm saying this because I'm currently working at a body shop and people expect to get thousand $ paint job when they only spend a couple hundred!

irokc13 · 08-13-2012, 03:56 PM

What brand paint is your guy using he's getting a ton of business he's providing services at dirt cheap prices

you're absolutely right, people shouldnt "expect" a Show car/baller/etc... paint job.

but they do come out really nice. this is mainly for people on a Budget. If you are avoiding a paint job because its going to break the bank then i suggest painting it with Mike. If you have Money to Blow then feel free to spend it on an expensive multi stage paint job.

To OP...theres a huge difference in your car. A lot better than keeping it a bunch of colors. May not be the best paint job but looks decent. Looks a lot better than what i have seen some people do like sticker slap whole fenders and patterned kind of designs to cover up fenders and hoods and such lol.

Slo_240sx · 08-14-2012, 10:55 AM

Has anyone ever had an engine bay painted by one of these guys? I'm stripping my whole front end down and would like to see how they are coming out.

I got mine painted in Escondido and my other friend got his painted in Clairemont (San Diego County).

I think I said this before but I'll say it again. Go to the shop where you want to take your car to get painted and see how they prep and review cars that have been painted. Then decide if you want to go there and have it sprayed.

The reason why I went to Escondido to get my car painted is because I have two friends that painted their cars there and came out really well.

However, I plan on getting my car re-painted since the presidential package is better than the ambassador (looks way more glossy) in the near future. If you would like to get it at a cheaper price, sand the car yourself and state that when they give you a quote.

The above advice are for people who just want their car painted and not looking for a show car quality paint. If you do, then you're looking in the wrong area.

Anyone know where mike's paint shop is at in Carson? Tried calling him but I guess he doesn't accept incoming calls. It will be appreciated if I can get any info.

Likethunda · 10-29-2012, 03:13 PM

Mike isnt painting cars right now, he's looking for a new shop where he doesnt need to pay so much to lease.

Does your guy still do paint or what?

LovetoSlide · 12-09-2012, 05:54 PM

What do you guys estimate an entire chassis paint. Bay and everything. Say I did the prep work and stripped the car and brought it to the paint guys. Say stage 3 paint?

Zilviasr20 · 12-26-2012, 06:10 PM

Bump for update on mike?

7RIFT0 · 12-26-2012, 06:30 PM

Yeah you can save so much money by doing the prep yourself and quality of your paint job comes in the prep. I paid 400 bucks for this paint job from my buddy. You get what you pay for. The paint itself was about 230 plus materials and his labor. 2 tone charcoal gray with black top. Plus the engine bay.

iVanRoz · 01-06-2013, 02:06 AM

About how much to fix this?!?! I want the factory color fn2 I believe.

dking240sx · 01-06-2013, 11:36 PM

lalo167 · 01-07-2013, 12:59 AM
