It'd probly be a little pricey because they'd have to paint all the jams and what-not.

Probly, I got an estimate to have my gp re-painted for $1000 (at a decent shop) but thats with me doing the body work and them not having to paint all the jams. I wouldn't take it to macco or anywhere like that, their paint jobs only last like 2 years max....

i want high quality, so im shooting for jams and all that

theer gunna have to shoot all the jams.trunk,engine bay. its gunna cost your some $$$. the only way you can get away with a cheap quality paint job is to repaint the car the same color.

If you do wanna save some money, you could always just paint the jams and stuff yourself then just have everything else professionally done.

Look at it this way...spend a grand on a new paint job every few years halfassed...OR...spend a bunch of money up front and have it done right and make it last forever. But why an ugly color like Gulf blue?
