Anyone know a painter that can paint my car for 1000$?
I'm looking to paint it back to the same green but want the roof and mirrors painted green too. I have a silver hood right now. Here is what I need.
Front bumper paint chips smoothed.
Hood painted from silver to green.
Molding removed.
Primer SS spoiler painted.
Roof and mirrors painted green.
Rest of car roughed and painted.

macco.
if you seriously want it painted p.m. me but 1000 barely covers materials. you have to be realistic man. not everyone can paint, and not everyone who can paint, wants to paint. there are reasons for that and all reasons for it are costly.

Buy your own paint and clear coat then have Maaco paint using that (unless U need alot of body work) Have a friend who had his 67 Tempest done like that, lasted years and looked flawless. Its the crappy paint Maaco uses thats so bad, so give them the good stuff to use

primer...............75
bondo...............25
sealer/hardner.. 125
color................175
clear/hardner.....175
misc.................125
just throwing figures out there on some of the cheaper bc/cc. going with something like a dbc from ppg and the prices will double. even on the cheaper side of things, the cost is 700 dollars, you may beable to get all of the materials for a bit less than that but no one who cares what they are doing is going to paint a car for 500 or less.
one option will be doing a single stage. however, there is just as much work on a single stage paint other than the clear coat being sprayed, but the body work, the prep and especially the wetsand and buff on a single stage is still the same to say the least.

thats why u bring them your own paint, the paint Maaco uses for there bargin basement paint job is the cheapest, thats why it oxidized. My friend's tempest still felt like lotion when u rubbed the paint after 5yrs, but then the body on that car was flawless to begin with.
