Re: New paint job... Qwik3r, I saw your car, NICE AS HELL!! Where in NJ are you from?? My car is NBM now and I'm keeping the same color so the door jabms and underhood don't have to be painted.

Re: New paint job... What about just redo-ing the car in the same color? No body work. I'd like to get a nice black coat on to get rid of scratches and such before I have some ghost flames put on it.

Re: New paint job... That's exactly what I want to do, just repaint NBM. Possibly with hockey sticks down the sides. But what would it be just to have it repainted the same color??

Verdad Gallardo Re: New paint job... Call some body shops. I'd still say budget at least $6,000 to $8,000 for a excellent quality base coat clear coat finish. It all comes down to the details. Even thought you don't want to change colors, do you want the hood, trunk & door jambs done? Or is everything masked and there is an ugly line in all the jambs? How much prep work? Is all the trim removed or just masked around? Are the bumpers painted off the car with flex agent? Are your stripes painted or stickers.
Ultimately you get what you pay for. I personnally feel the job Berger did was cheap in comparison to the quality. I give Berger's painter a big thumbs up! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: New paint job... Qwik3r and Xsta Z 28, both of your cars look great.
Xsta Z 28, Just curious how many coats of paint did Berger put on your car? Was the engine bay done also?
