Ive been saying this for a long long time paint isnt that hard to do to make it lood great if its done right and it shouldnt cost much more than materials and whats needed to paint for cost. 3k for paint is insane IMO. Its mostly in the prep work and cleanliness!!!Quote:

and csssaint12....sorry about our distraction, but how did you plan on getting your car painted? Isn't MN kinda far away for a weekend job? :)
kejross...nope, its not a 3 stage. The paint code is 9800 for my car and its called dark cherry metallic. I don't think they made GP's in tri-coats.
I'll have to pull that paint codes when I look at it tomorrow. Said something about a goldish pearl look to the paint, but from pics it looks same as yours.Quote:

Well I am trying to get into a local body shop this summer to help out to learn how to do body work and if that was the case I probably would do it myself and save some dough. The car just started to have small surface rust spots and dont want my car rusting out already.Quote:

Really you have rust on your 04 plus already!!! ??? I live in Grand Forks ND my cars always clean and it wasnt rusting, neither the 98 Regal GS I had or the 02 Grand Prix had rust at all. Not even bubbles on the inside of the doors where the door skin meets the shell.Quote:

That looks fantastic dude, great job.
I would love to get my car repainted, but I am not willing to shell out around ~$2500 for a paint job. If it was around a grand, I think I'd do it in an instant.
Wow good work! Wouldn't have the balls to do this to my GXP...
so im finishing all the paint work tonight as far as doing the flat black on the hood and spoiler.....ill be posting more pics tonight after it is finished and more pics on saturday of everything out side
So dope
Totally wish i lived around you! ive got some minor scratches and stone chips on my 05 that i want fixed!
