I can get it painted soon! --- End quote --- How much $$$ are we talking here? My wife has a car that needs a paint job, and I don't really feel like going around getting estimates at this point because I'm in no position to do so. Online estimates range from $3000 to $15000 but I could have made an estimate like that myself. The clear coat is flaking quite a bit, and we were thinking of doing either a flat black with gloss black flames, or gloss black with really dark purple flames. Although personally I love the white on front fading out to colour as it is now. It's just a bit too much. --- End quote --- As little as humanly possible. I'm getting it painted the same factory color, so that helps a lot with the price, but it also means that inside the doors and all the jazz I have to paint myself. There isn't a whole lot of surface area in those places though, so rattle cans of color match do just fine. I don't have a choice really... my paint isn't fading or just starting to look bad, it's virtually non-existent. In terms of what you were wanting to do, the same base color is always cheapest. If you change it though flat black is a lot cheaper than gloss black which is literally the hardest, most expensive color you can get if you want a perfect finish. |

Leave the hearse as is. Earl Scheib is fine if you can do basic prep. |

If you need your time machine painted then sure, they are great. Otherwise they closed in 2010. ;) |

I remember that guy. He sounded like he had just finished gargling a bowl of thumbtacks. |
