The only reason why prices in Cali is a lot cheaper is because there are a lot of competitions in this type of business. Heck, I even got quoted $1200 at one location. I only went to the shop I went to was because two of my friends have gotten their cars painted there and results were great

Under $2000???? Holy ****! That paint looks like you could jump in and swim in it! Is that really their price or did you get the homie special hookup family price?? LOL. For that price I'd be willing to drive to SD.

No homie hook up. It's just the price he charge people. Xtreme Paint Worx in Lemon Grove, CA. They would be happy to have you there haha

I'm not too sure why it was painted. I just left it as is for now. I will probably use paint thinner on it when I get a chance though

Don't use paint thinner just use a fine tip razor sharp scalpel and carefully scrap it off if that doesn't work just take locks off handle and then use paint thinner.
