Question Paint Manta!!
Hey guys, I have a 2000 Sebring Silver Metallic SS and would like to paint the manta black! I have no idea how much it would be, so I was wondering if anyone that has it done could chime in and let me know about what they paid? Thanx for your time and if possible post pics if u can as well!

I can't tell you about what to expect price wise bc a friend that owns a body shop did mine cheap. But a black manta stripe on sebring silver would be beautiful man! Go for it!

Your car actually made up my mind on this mod! So thank you fine sir! $600 isn't bad for everything! My buddy paints and he said he would charge me 150 for the hood! How's that sound?
