I dont think you can have a truly good paint job for cheap, **** on my third gen I spent 2700 and I am still having problems with the paint shop. Just my advice go for a good reputable shop and have it done once and for all. Even if you have to spend more, you'll be happier in the end. Dude my car has been a huge head ach, this is the forth time I have taken it back

What? He exchanged the whole right side of my impala and you can't tell he did. He took the quarter off from the factory spot welds and welded them back.
