Hey Guys.
Check out the following links. The first one is a forum about cheep paint jobs and a guy that painted his car with Tremclad (Rust-oleum in US) and high density foam rollers. cost him $50. (There are over 2- pages on this topic) http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showfl...=0&fpart=1&vc=1 The following link are some better photos of his charger and a Beetle he painted the same way in 2000. http://photobucket.com/albums/d13/69martin.../paint/?start=0 I cannot believe how good the paint looks..... |

Mueller - did you try a votech (vocational) school? At mine you supply the paint the students supply the labor, might be worth a shot. Takes time, You can also sign up for an adult body shop class. I did this and now I can go any Wednesday night and work on my car, use the booth, frame puller, alignment racks etc.... for free. YMMV, but he and I hit it off. Great resource to have. Only problem with this relationship is he is so anal I still paint at home (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
BTW, I think if you moved off the Cali coast to the Motor City, Michigan, or even Dayton, Ohio, you can get macho to paint a car for less than the $1500 you got quoted. I have a guy down the road that will paint anything I bring him for $500 cash and do the repair work and prep work also. Seems to be his price point, he can't refuse. He supplies all the materials, I have to supply the panels. Got my auto-x miata redone this way. And best of all he will re-shot it after mishaps for little $$. For some reason I have had to have the right front fender replaced 3 times on that car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Still the cheapest auto-x car I have ever built, even with 3 new front fenders. |
