WOW, other people agree with me, and the other "real" painters on here,..
again, you asked for advice.

Hey,

My wife has a 94 Camry with only 80k miles. We just got through replacing ALL the seals on it, including the rear main. Did some other stuff too while we were in there too (timing belt and so on).

Anway, now we're looking to get it a nice paint job. It's white now and we ain't gonna change the color. The seals and stuff cost us quite a bit and we have only about $1,000 left to put into a paint job.

I don't know anything about car painting. What should we be wary of? What should we ask about the way they do it? I don't want to take it somewhere and get fast talked and screwed.

The problem with the paint is it got Malathion on it years ago and the resulting dark spots on the hood, roof, trunk are all the way through the paint so I guess we might as well get a complete repaint.

What can we expect for $1,000? Anybody recommend anybody in the Tampa area who can do a good job for $1,000?

Talk to me, guys. I need someone to take me to school on this.

Thanks,

Mickey

people did "school" you on this and you did not care,
shall i go on?.....

C'mon guys. Is it going to be Maaco? We can go $1200 tops.

Macco quoted $800 for their "top of the line" Signature paint job with the Prep Plus package.
