How much $$$

[captainron1987]

I want to get my tc repainted its a maroon now but want to get a black how much would a decent paint job go for that looks good?

That would depend on the play that you pick, and etc. It could range anywhere from $300 to $2000

if u want a really good job the price ranges from $3000 and up .. well thats just the quality work i've seen .. u can probably score a good deal

Yeah, I agree because my dad used to paint cars and work in a bodyshop when they used to paint NASCAR's, now it's all about the decals and not the paint.

my friend owns his own body shop and he does the best work i've seen .. he was employed at some major shop that paints bently's lambo's lotus's etc. so his work had to be on point .. he had to quit because the company was relocating and he has a family so he couldn't afford to move .. but anywayz he charges $3000 and up because of the quality paint he uses and the time he takes to actually detail the cars from bumper to bumper

for a full paint change including engine bay and jams, expect well over $3000.

they have to completely remove the engine to paint it correctly, thats not cheap!!

oh yea .. that is a lot of work .. and a lot of paint

b00gi3, i know this thread died a while ago, but where's ur friends body shop located? he sounds reputable. one of my last planned mods is new paint (distant future). just wanna know if he's still around ur area. never too early to start planning!

[ac3 b00gi3]

yea he's still around .. i go over there a lot often .. wats up ?

There is always the vinyl wrap solution. The original Nitto tC was a bright blue, painted inside and out. The car was completely gutted to do this. When Nitto had Jotech reconfigure the car as a Time Attack contender, they wanted to the car to be more menacing and drop the show car look. You can go the Nitto Tires website and check it out. Not a super gloss show quality paint replacement, but a cheaper alternative to an expensive paint job.

nothin right now. overall color scheme is a glossy dark dark gray and white theme (white leds for guages, white hids, etc). gonna be the last thing after performance and ICE stuff since it'll be most expensive thing. buy then i wont be ballin on a budget! came across this thread last night being bored so i decided to ask if ur guy was still around.
