I had a 260z back in college, fun car . What about plasti dip your whole car?
Outside Bay Area is definitely cheaper. I spent a whole summer in college doing body work and paint prep on one of my buddies car, had easily over 100 hours into it. He eventually sold the car for $1500 dollars. Still can't get that time back. |

CA has banned gallons of plasta dip. It's no longer an easy option. I have a friend that we did it to his car. We applied in a warehouse where dust contaminated the layers....flat surfaces were textured like sand paper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ Mar 5 2016, 08:51 AM) OK, I'll paint it for you. Should only take 3 cases of Krylon to cover it pretty well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Maybe I should just sticker bomb the car and join the hella flush movement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Still can't get that time back. I have found plastidip to not really be a long lasting solution. Since the paint is rough and textured seems a little difficult to clean and it fades out in a couple years. It does work well for a base filler layer I found, but coverage sucks. I used it to put a couple base layers on a camper shell and then covered it with regular paint, seems to be holding up well. and the regular paint is much more smooth and glossy. |

I just got an estimate for a repaint of same color, a couple of door skin rust repairs on my '75 Anacona blue metallic with trim and light removal and replacement, engine pulled for front and rear trunk and engine bay repaint included. Not a full car tear down though. $11.5K. Still way more than I want to pay
