if i had to guess, for the paint, reducer, clear, and hardner (mind you putting a good clear on it) I would say you will be in the 2000 dollar range. I paid nearly 500 for a pint of the black cherry, which like i said was only a dual stage base coat.

looks good!!!! i did a honda prelude in a standox chameleon color and just basecoat alone was about 2 grand and that did the entire car/jambs/engine bay/body kit. then i also used a standox premium clear coat which was about 400 just for the 2 liter can of clear and then add for reducers for the base coat, primer, sealer, and clear.

I agree, BEAUTIFUL paint job, GAY exhaust tips. Cut those off immediately and replace with dual-dual 3.5" polished stainless. It will fill the gaps in the bumper cover much better and look a WHOLE lot better from the back. I got mine off evilbay for $100 shipped and paid a muffler shop $20 to line them up and weld them on.




I'm an ***-man myself.

You can have an opinion. They are SLP tips. True there could be a better fillment back there. I guess I never thought about it. No one has ever said anything before. Maybe I will peak around and see what I can find.

Very cool! Agree on painting the STB to match. I also think maybe a different finish wheel....something about the chrome just doesnt seem to flow with the paint. Not a put down to you ....just a thought.

Looks great. I'd recommend chroming out as much as you can in the engine bay, and putting on a quality wheel tire combo. Z06's aren't unique enough for that paint!

it shouldent cost anywhere near that much. I did a job in that color last year and the base coat was 200 for black base, the color was around 700 for 3 quarts, reduced 1-1 and i used HOK clear which was 240 for the whole setup. if your pulling the motor to do the compartment and taking the doors off to cut in properly it still shouldent have costed more than 7k
