Ehh, im not painting any one car. Its a lot of fucking work and once my car is done I'm not working on cars for a long while. I'll help out if anyone needs it though. The only reason I do my own painting is because I refuse to let some one else work on my car.

Seriously a $400-600 macco paint job will be almost as good and you get a year or two warranty with it, and that would be similar to the cost of painting it yourself.

A friend just got the 400$ paint job and there is a little over spray but the paint itself was decent.
