i'm repainting my car soon, and i'm going to be doing it myself, all the body work and everything. i'm painting it at my school which has a down draft climate controled spraybooth.
all i have to pay for is the paint.
I just hate the dark green color personally, especially on convertibles. I've always wanted a triple black Mustang but have never been able to find one that was in good enough condition to try and attempt trading mine. I feel like re-painting the car black is my only chance to get that combination. It almost makes me wonder if it wouldn't be worth it to say screw the door jams and such and go black anyway. I'd probably be the only one that would notice.
You can pay someone to finish the outer parts of you car and then go back in and do the jambs, hood and trunk yourself. You can actually have the exact same paint that they use on the exterior put into an aerosol can. Just wait for a nice day, mask it off, knock the gloss down with a Scotchbrite pad and put 2-3 nice coats on it. You can even have clearcoat put in those cans. Do a little at a time, as you can, if you're busy.
Just a thought.

i agree ... painting the jambs yourself is a great idea. but i would think it would be "safer" to do that BEFORE taking it in for the main paint job, not after.
heh .... i have a triple black vert that will probably be going up for sale eventually...
of course, you may not be able to handle that much power though ...
then again, i will be looking to get more have a few grand for it too
I am NOT going to Maaco. Never seen anything from the company that was worth anything. Maybe just my bad experiences.
Tell you what, when the day comes that you have it for sale you can let me know.
Guess nobody remembers me...
My paint job from maaco with the nasty ding in the rear quarter panel taken care of was 1.3k Top quality paint base and clear. One year later still looking as fresh as it did when it was done. And most of the guys here gave it credit for looking so well
This was when it was done
And this is it now almost a year later
I made sure to do it where the guy who took care of everything owned an sn95 gt also and had quite a few sn95's in the shop for paint.
I'd be satisfied spending 1.3K and getting the result you displayed above. Let's hope I'm that lucky when the time comes.
Beautiful car and I don't usually care for that color. Awesomely clean though!
