you mean the entire car??? naw man don't do that. if you do you'll have to paint the entire engine bay, door jams and stuff like that. make the value of your car drop like crazy. plus nothing is as good as factory paint unless you want to spend some serious money. you know what i mean. you've seen my car and i've showed you the difference between good and bad paint. you get that blurry reflection called orange peel.

i guess. i got quoted today fr the complete paint job and it's really good!!....i wont post the price though.....very personal..h.eh.he

but it will take 2 full weeks to paint everything all white......
i might polish my rims too fr $45 each. i know this place in the valley that can do it fr $30 each. i want my rims to come shiny after the paint job.

just find a shop that deals with polishing..fr wheels. thy have a special machine to do the job but sometimes, the machine wont reach that deep on all wheels depending on the lip. some, h'ever, come out pretty nice...mirror finished...very close to chrome but "not" chrome.
