NEED A NEW PAINT JOB help

Ranma · 03-11-2011, 09:58 PM

My guy needs a new paint job too. The clear coat is peeling and the paint is faded. A shop quoted me at 2500 for a paint job. That includes removing things such as lens, etc.
My high pressure hose on the power steering blew and is still not ready

Think the 86.5 3 litter was rated at 200 hp? Well fast enough for me.

this is an old post and allot of good tips have been said allready so just to chime in. Places like maaco do decent paint jobs cheap.. Do not allow them to do the prep work. 1 it increases the cost and 2 Ive heard nothing but BAD reviews about them and the final results.

the best rout to go is either drop big bucks and have a GOOD paint shop do it or do all the prep work yourself then take it into a budget paint shop.. Id do the latter.

Yea, would do the work myself but it is too hard on me. My injuries from Iraq prevent me from doing a proper job. I am down to doing only the most minor of work

How do you know what is a good shop?
