I will try to get some info for you. I use to have some paint reps in that area, they are not there anymore but I will see if I can get intouch with them and find something out for you.

I found one for around 3.5k. Most are charging 8 to 12k and want 3 months to a year to paint the car.

I think I am going to try the 3.5k one. I will let you know more about the shop in the next week.

P.S. Did you get a chance to install the rear end yet?

Are you sending the car to be painted soon John? I have been gone most of the last week so I haven't had a chance to speak with you lately.

I actually have a friend that races who knows a guy that will get me a real nice paint job for under 2 grand. So i think i'm good to go with that.

and about the rear end...i'm not getting that in til the paints done so I can get my new rims...since the rims i have now dont have 5 lug holes

Paint will run alot cheaper here from what i've heard. Quality may not be as good...but it won't be anywhere near 3.5K. Good luck with finding a good paint shop. Don't get screwed over becuase it looks like the best deal. Ask around to people that have gone to a certain shop and see how the quality of work is before you fork over a couple grand.
