• Last weekend I decided to fix all cosmetics on my 05 gxp.....so i painted the whole car......

list of areas fixed:

• front bumper (stone chips)
• driver side fender (small dent)
• driver side rear door (small dent)
• driver side dog leg (stone chips)
• rear bumper (small scratches)
• trunk (dent by reverse light)
• passenger side dog leg (stone chips)
• passenger side rear door (small dent)
• hood (replace stock with inferno)
• front bumper grill and emblem (painted flat black)

with all that done i decided to blend all the base out so that everything matches.....


things to come:

• paint nostrils on hood flatt black
• paint spoiler flat black except the middle of it, thats staying body color

Just a curious question since you did everything yourself. How much would you charge to paint a car?

This and also if you're looking for a new project, you should definitely trade me cars. Mine's got yanno...some scratches..and stuff...

if its painting the same color and not much body work like in mine i can get it done in a weekend but i usually dont paint whole cars on side jobs....and cost of something like i did to mine is about $2500 to $3000....thats to cover labor, materials, and over head costs of the shop.....paints expensive but if done right looks real nice...

Ok. Cause I need someone to touch up my paint cause of some dings and **** in it and was just curious. If i decide to go ahead with fixing the paint up I'll keep you in mind if you wouldn't mind doing it.
