$1300 can get you a decent paint job and the prep work done you just have to find a shop that would do it for that price

define hook up lol. i think i wouldnt really needed it to be blended idk maybe
And now I realize..the "If you lived close, Id hook you up" may not have been directed at me lol..but good to know that I could get something decent for that price :)
i have a paint gun :) and i do havve space and time
wanna come visit me for a couple days?
ok so if i did paint it myself and i needed to blend it then what the hell do i do lol
I wouldn't attempt blending until you get some more painting experience lol, but to do the hood you will have to sand it all down if its a base clear job previously done on the hod Id say wetsand it down with 600 grit and spray some gray sealer on it (since the hood was previously red) if the sealer was reduced correctly and laid down nice you wouldn't need to sand it before basecoat. After its cleared you could wetsand it with 1500 or 2000 then compound and glaze it with a buffer to make it look better. Read my thread on painting rims it will show you alot of the steps on painting. And if you have any questions Im always on here lol

yeah im lost lol
I actually had Maccos paint my SE lip and rear valence and gauge pod lol cost me wait for it....
A total of $75 lol. Of course I didn't leave the car with them and the paint actually looked good lol no problem to date.
i can paint the lip myself no big deal im just worried about the hood
Might be worth the trip to go over to Eddies. Lip sure is a bit harder to screw that up plus its not In your face as much as the hood. The hood on the other hand yea you want the paint to be flawless since that's a main focal point. I won't have Maccos paint anything important on my car lol but figured hey for that price if it does need repainting no problem plus it was something rather unimportant lol.
Never painted anything myself helped my buddy paint his engine bay..first time I sprayed something and didn't come out to bad.
eddie is also 15 hours away lol
Only 15 hours plz you still have a few hours left in the day lol. I would go to him if you were to buy the hood that needed a bit of fiberglass work since I know around here you'll be paying out of the butt in repairs cost. Keep looking lol maybe if you could land it cheap enough it'll be worth it. I know one thing you'll have more luck find a good then I would finding a inferno good for sale lol.
true true i missed a good deal once and i kick myself $300 perfectt white paint and 40 min away the guy just sold the car too
Craigslist lol. Yup missed my own opportunity to get a CF Inferno about 10 hours away. Needed to be cleared but of course it was going to be painted anyways but at the time..car wasn't running actually still isn't lol and I lost my job so factor that in I had to pass on it.
i got ads all over the place lol
