dont get butthurt...I'm just telling you that the materials used aren't going to last as long...I did state 3500-5k for a stock color is a good price...learn to read before you get all upset and for the record, you called people that spend 5k for a paintjob fools....boo hoo...what I'm telling you is you can tell a difference between a 3k paintjob and a 5k

yea i think everyone knows u get what you pay for.
you can probbally get chip foose to paint your car and pay 20k for it
you can also get maaco to do it for $299.00
you just have to find "YOUR" level of finance to make a good choice.

Here we go with the subliminal disrespect, you need you direct that to you boy Tran who sold that bootleg gs300 with the 2jzgte swap. I like quality but 10k paintjob for a street driven car is stupid. If its a lambo or ferrari and you gotta pay 10k then ok, your talking a gs so you do the math. Lets leave it at that.

.......................5-10k. Cali DOES have deals thought. Ever heard of MOB works? I heard they do GOOD cheap jobs. But I got a quote to get all my dents/dings pulled and respray and I was quoted 8k everywhere I went

I got to agree here, there's no way you'd want to pay more than maybe 4k for a complete respray on a daily driver. You just got to find the right place, have a look at their past work and bargain. Doesn't mean though, that I wouldn't spend more for that 'perfect' look.

Ok well 5k if your body is jacked up lol. I know where your coming from and I know your in the industry and you gotta be a perfectionist because thats your bread and butter and if your in the industry with a half assed car you might as well sign your death certificate. LOL

I've seen the product of a 1k paint job, a regular person can spot the flaws on it. 3-5k for a "good" paint job with minor body work is about right. You guys have to put into consideration the amount of work to prep the car. A good body shop will take off and re-install the doors, glass/windows, trims, lights, panels, etc. Also the materials are expensive and you really don't want to cut corners on materials.
I understand that some of you might see 3k and up for paint is too much, but it really depends on the owner of the car.
I care about quality paint job on my car and I want it done right the first time.
