I currently live in lincoln Nebraska, and...
i have been looking into getting my entire car repainted sometime this year. the lowest cost i have seen around is right around 5k..
i will be repainting the car the exact same color it is.(ex patrol car)
does anyone know of a good place to take it to that does a good job for cheap?
or does anyone do it on the side for some extra money?
any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Benjamin

I was looking into this last year. The high end shops said 8K. The Kustom Shop on west O said 4800 and seemed like they knew what they were doing. I ended up just getting 3 panels repainted at Steve's Body Shop and they did a shitty job. Stay away from them.

Well I can't help you out locally, but I can say that the same color for 5k sounds high, unless they do amazing work, and that includes everything..parts, supplies, prep work, badges they might break, etc etc etc. I got almost a whole car done-minus bumpers- (+) custom work, and it all added up to around 4200. hmmmmm maybe 5 isn;t so bad, but I would keep looking. If you have the ability, macco can do a hell of a job on a daily driver if you do all the prep work. SOme time they paint with the O.D. process.
