Hundreds of dollars for a paintjob? LMFAO good luck getting a decent looking paintjob for less than 1500.

If youre only looking to spend a couple hundred just go like very cheapass and rattlecan it and throw some Rotas on and stickerbomb your primer lip.

[s13 4rey]

@Aypawk I second that. take it to Auto Explosion in Gardena just look them up and read about them!!! I'm taking my 91 s13 hatch the for paint.it will run around 3k you get what you pay.if thats to much then go to walmart buy rattlecan or take it to mexico

[xAJAxY]

do all the prep yourself and take it to 1day paint

mine came out nice. for a cheap job.
just a few spots that are fucked up.
but one year warrent
you get what you pay for though


500 bucks.


or pay them 650 and they will do it all

[Akito86]

If i may add, i took my mr2 around 8 years ago to macco I paid 500 or so it was a bronze metallic color I sold the car about a year go and the paint still looked good after polishing it here and there, My mr2 sat outside, its really hot and sunny here, the guy i sold the Mr2 was surprised as well. they did mess up thou. over sprayed the stock muffler abit. but I have to say it wasn't bad maybe I just got a good painter.
Or just go and ask around everyone got a Homeboy that paints just buy good products XD

Ok ONCE AGAIN. im "NOT" looking to pay hundreds of dollars on a paintjob if my car is going to be worth the same..

i plan on selling it so why invest so much into a paint job??? doesnt make sense... soo something simple and cheap just so the car wont be 2 different colors.. nomsayin?

macco or 1 day can do a painjob for like 300-500. if you can't pay that, sell the car without the paint job. seriously you are a real cheap ass. Beer budget champagne taste.

[StryfeS13]

The "not looking to pay hundreds of dollars" made me laugh.

Joking aside, if you really want a cheap paint job, go to various maaco's in your area, and look at the cars they have parked outside..those are the cars that they just finished painting.

If you are satisfied with how those cars look, then take your car to that maaco. However, if you have an intercooler, nice exhaust, or nice wheels, then you should cover them, because they'll get over spray on that shit. I'd honestly put on stock wheels before you take it.

[RyanS13]

Honestly if you do all the body work and prep yourself, and take it to a maaco that you've checked out and seen the work that they've done.

I took my car to one and all the prep work was done and it didn't come out bad at all. But Like Stryfe said, if you have an intercooler, exhaust, or anything you don't want over spray on, I suggest you take it off.

[Frankz91]

I love it
its people like you that will make my 240 look like a masterpiece when I get it painted
Thank You :-)

[Likethunda]

YES your cars will look better then Mine! its sitting on a stock suspension and old school 4 lug 300zx Rims... so at this point anything looks better than my car... Just lookin to paint so it can be more presentable when sold..The car Runs SOlid ... Just the paint that makes it look Junky....

[JDM_Tuner]

i painted mine for around $300-400, paint was $256 and tape, cleaning shit, etc made up the rest. Granted i already had a paint gun, compressor and a booth, but if you have a garage, small compressor and a gun its pretty easy. The final product all depends on the prep, You just gotta research a little beforehand.

[FU12]

Even a cheap paint job will run in the hundreds. Seems like you want cheaper. Find a friend with a compressor, by a cheap paint gun, cheap rustoleum paint and do it your self.

[SYLO_JOHNSON]

Well, you "Don't want to spend hundreds of dollars"... You also "Just want the car to be all one color nomsayin"... You could hit up your nearest wal-mart, home depot, lowes, or ol "Roberto the tagger" for some Krylon ... Get the primer, (a few cans, black or white or whatever tickles your taint) hit it up in your garage. Cost you easily less than 150, just depends on your attention to detail, if it comes out looking like a bag of smashed assholes you have no one to blame but yourself.
