threeto four hndred bux is what it cost me to by the paint that i would use on a paint job, and that goes for about 98% of the shops around, so i guess you can try econo bake, macco...thats about it, and if you go there....well you might as well save up for next year cause you will need to do it all over again

C'mon they're not the best, but they're not that bad. I use them all the time I still feel Maaco in Pasco is the best of the cheapo paint places. I'm going to start taking cars up there again next week
