What's affordable??? You want a good paint job for cheap? Doesn't usually work like that? How much you wanna spend?

Don't know exactly what's "affordable," but for the price TNT Auto Body in Sacramento does a GREAT job. They do collision, insurance, custom, and high end vehicles.

I've seen TNT's work. I was gonna recommend them or my buddy who owns Panel Craft in berkeley but he wants affordable. I talked to my buddies who got their cars painted at TNT and its about $4,500-$5,000. Is this affordable for you?

Yea you got any pics of that $1500 job...

I just got a 94 GS300 with bad oxidation and planning to get the whole car repainted. I'm not looking to spend too much money, It's going to be my DD and just want it to look decent again.
