So I have been looking to buy a new project fun car, and found a really cool project (280z).
The problem is the car is a color that I dislike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/s30.postimg.org-11125-1456962059.1.jpg) In reaching out to many shops in the bay area for a color change ( windows out, but no engine compartment), the cheapest price I have found is $7,000! I plan to pull everything off the car ( but the glass) before going to the shop. Note: This car is rust free and has no body damage ( original owner since new, and the paint still looks good). Any connections out there for driver quality paint work at 5 grand or below? Once shop quoted me $12k! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks for the collective advice, Matt |
