I'm looking to paint my 92 SC300 but i want to find a cheap-priced good quality paint. I DO NOT want to go to Maaco to get it done as I have heard so many things wrong with maaco jobs. Can you guys help me find a place to do it without it costing a fortune?

Thank you,
Chris

 

chris - try M1 autobody in El Monte, they did my car.

now its a bit more than MAACO, etc or similar place, but believe me, you will NOT like your car with a cheap orange peel paint job.

but boy you will like the results of a new paint job done right.

 

Post in the FL forums you might get a better response there.

 

Thank you Foozemore, and I'l try posting in the Florida section too Cherplex thanks for the tip.

 

cheap and good quality dont go hand in hand.. especially with paint jobs - you get what you pay for

 

took the words right out of my mouth that is unless you have a freinds or a special hookup

 

Let me elaborate on this. Whats the lowest price, High Quality Paint job I can get at a professional paint service place? NOT Maaco. I know Driven Concepts has a $1500 base price for the entire car. I'm trying to look for a little less perhaps maybe $1,000?

 

silencer,

sorry, didnt see you are in Florida, but was just trying to tell you how important it is to do things the "right" way.

 

where in fl are you located? i know tons of shops here

 

I understand Foozemore, and Thank you. I'm one to know also why things should be done the right way, the first time. I'm located in Port Richey, FL 34668. I'm willing to travel 50 miles out for it too if it takes that. Thanks sc350tt.

I'm sure you know a cheap price goes hand in hand with cheap or so-so quality. A high quality paint job normally means the removal of everything from headlights to mouldings to tailights and everything that may be removed to make sure you get every inch of he car, and great prep work. That alone would cost quite a bit of money. Not including the price of quality paint like PPG, House of Color, and so on. A thousand dollars, would probably get you a good paint job for now, but when time and weather is an issue I doubt it will last. Only my 2 cents.

 

im south .but if you want to bring it to miami i can get your car resprayed starting 1000

 

$1000 will probably get you a decent wraparound with minimal body work

 

1500 i would be pooping frisbees at that price!!! i was quoted $2500-3500 to respray my car black.

 

Oh my gosh, your car looks GREAT! I want my car to look equivalent in quality as that one. If it takes thousands of dollars to get the paint done like that, then I'll have to wait probably a year to get it done. I just wnat one that will last 10+ years and wont just start peeling all over and be a waste in 1 year.
