$400 plus help my painter prep it out and tape it up. I work in a bodyshop so I get a huge discount on this stuff. This paintjob would cost about $4500 to anybody else.

wow, thats one hell of a deal. $400 bucks is good even for a painter. i thought the paint would cost more than that alone. it looks like its an amazing job too. car looks amazing. i think ur car is the first ever hugger orange trans am. ive seen hugger orange camaros, but not trans ams.

i like it, stands out nice and i bet the pearl looks awsome in the sun. good job and yes working in a body shop does have its advantages. thats probably about what it would cost me, plus my own labor.

thats pretty cheap for a pearl. how far did down you take the original paint? i'd say you would have to see this car in person to get the full effect of the pearl too. nice job BTW.

yeah it looks best in the morning when the sun is bright. I juist sanded the clear coat off it with 400 grit paper. It wasn't a full restoration style paint job where I took it all the way down, the whole process was done in one day.

Why would you not paint the side view mirrors? I like the color but if you've got a custom color you need nice wheels for sure. Get some wheels and paint those side mirrors and you've got a 10 out of 10 on your hands.
