A good paint job?

Toyotafanatic · 08-01-2006, 12:05 AM

Hey does anyone know what a decent paint job goes for on a MkIII Supra, I want to paint the one Im getting black, would it be cheaper if I did all the sanding and priming myself?

yes, if you do the prep work it will be cheaper. Prep work is very important to the final product, so if you're inexperienced I'd leave it to the pros. Every little defect in the prep work will show through in black very well.

Are you going from some other color to black?

Most likely yes.

if your planning to do this jus once
it will probly be cheaper jus to bring your car to a shop with a professional

but if your doing this as a learning experience, go for it
get a compressor, sander, belt sander, primer spray gun
and everything that goes with it
it might sound costly, but you wont be paying for labor and you have a chance to learn something new

lucky bastard,,, lol just kidding

there you go, if i had those things my supra would have a new paintjob by now
got for it

do sum art with it too if you can, a custom paintjob, make it standout out of the rest

and trust me , when pple ask
it gives you that proud feeling inside when you say " I DID IT MYSELF"
have fun with the project
