Its going to look like complete *** for a grand, even more so when its a color change! Huge part of a good paint job even back to the factory color is prep work and that is extremely labor intensive. Your better off saving and doing to done right the first time then painting it and having to repaint again and spending even more because you had to fix a some one elses mistakes because you werent willing to do it right in the first place I also know lots of guys that dont like color changing unless they can get the engine bay too unless its a black car. But at very least make sure they get the jams and hatch which for that little, doubt they would. To get my back bumper cover done Ceta style, it was going to be like 300 or so, thats just a back bumper, not the entire car

Im sure people will flame, BUT I took my stangs saleen wing and saleen bumper to maaco recently to re spray them and I swear to god they look great, matched almost perfect and the only issue was a very small amount of orange peel, prob less than my SS has from the factory, lol. I cant say about how long it is gonna stay like this, but it looks good.

Hmm ya you can do it for 1000 easy, just go buy me the paint, and I will come over and do it. I don't have any experience at all. But hey for $1000, I am willing to try and make it look as good as possible.
Deal ???

Well, it can certainly be done... but you won't like the results.
