Picture this: right side tails are still the painted sexiness that was my cars rear end before some ******* backed into it and didn't even leave a note. The left side is one painted half tail light and it's too dark and looks stupid and one unpainted (hatch light) stock light. Looks horried. I cringe every time I see the back of my car. Searching google for a good paintshop is about as helpful as asking a hippie what his favorite gun is. So I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do to fix them. I tried Guardline but aparently they're too good for my money so **** 'em. The hunt continues.

I see a red X but I think that's because my work computer blocks my photobucket. If it doesn't work I'll fix it from home. Either way I want that look back, maybe a little darker for both the red and the smoke but I need a shop that can do it in one day, maybe 2 (if I can find 2 nice days in a row to ride my motorcycle to work) and for a reasonale amount. Was quoted 200.00 at one place so now I'm going to sand down the lights myself and try again. Appreciate the help regardless. |

If you do the prep work and buy the paint. the auto center on post will spray it for $50. At least that's the price they told my friend last year.

How much you think they will charge for a full body paint job? With and without buying the paint first? I've only been on this post since this past November.

I don't know. You need to get the pain. All you are basically doing is paying for labor

I'm not being skeptical or arguing your validity but 2800 for a color change is less than maaco charges for a color change

I'm thinking about heading to the paint shop to talk to them during my lunch. Though it seems a lot of units are off today I try to avoid the PX, gets a little crazy there during lunch time.
