OK, I called about 7 body shops in the Visalia area and asked them how much would they charge for a "complete" paint job on a 914--painting it the original color--bahia red. We didn't get into any type of paint. I told them the car had been completely stripped down to bare metal and sits primed, stripped of all chrome, weatherstripping, bumpers, and interior (see attached pictures).
I recieved estimates ranging from $4500 to $8000. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I know its been a long time since I've had a car painted but these prices seem way to high. I thought I could get it painted in the condition that it is in for around $1500. Am I being ridiculous? Any suggestions for a place to paint my 914 around Visalia, CA? I've heard some of you talk about a place in Mexico called Los Panchos?? Attached image(s) ![]() |

well I don't mean to gloat -- but -- it is going to cost me 800.00 to paint my car using house of color kandy paint -- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
my friend paints cars for a living and is getting a discount on the paint and we are painting it in the booth at his shop -- then I am paying one of the guys that works there to color sand and buff it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif) |
