Default want to get my s14 painted

I'm looking to get my 240sx compleatly painted its a burgundy color right now but I'm looking to be getting it pearl white. My price range is 3 to $500 it obviously doesn't have to be the best one out there just one good enough to where my car looks pretty clean. Looking to get it painted some were close around the largo/st.pete area. Just send me a pm for my cell number and ill send you some pics to show you what your working with.

i second that option. and it isnt gonna be anywhere near clean, you need to add another 0 to that budget to get you into that ball park.

So I do the roller paint job on my car.... - 240SX Forums

from this:



to this:



For ~$100. It's not perfect, but it's easy and cheap. I did it to my S14. Turned out great, just have to take your time.

My old S14 was roller painted. No one knew until I told them. Easily as good as any cheap single stage econo or maaco paintjob.











For under $100 it can't be beat... it's not a professional job (obviously!), but it's cheap and easy and looks waaaayyyy better than faded flaking shitty old paint.

people need to open up their fucking minds a little bit in the paint forum. jesus christ. obviously it's not on par with the job a $100k+ bodyman is going to do. but it's every bit as good as a $500 maaco or econo job.
