all this places offer cheap paint jobs for around 500 bucks it wont last forever but it will work.
just stick with the color you have
1000 bucks for a paint job definitely wont be any good
There are many 'Ifs' with your question. First of all, how good is
the body? How long do you intend to keep the car? How good
of a paint job do you want? How long do you want this paint
job to last? How adept are you at doing things on your car?
Would you be willing to fully prep your car so that a shop
could just do the painting? (Do you even know how much
work is involved in a professional prep job?
The cheapest quality paint jobs use the least amount of
preparation of the car. Any body work needed before prep
adds to the cost. (One very small dent, or any hairline
scratch, especially with black, will show up after painting)
You can get paint jobs for $200, and up. If you don't need
to have bodywork done, or whatever you need you do
yourself, and if you do any of the major preparation, a
pretty good paint job will cost about $1200.
When you consider the cost of a good acrylic enamel
paint starting out around a couple of hundred per gallon,
and the labor involved in preparation for a good job, not
to mention that amount of primer coats needed, it is
very easy to get the price over $2000.
Also, for a long term, good job, you don't want a paint
that requires a finish clear coat. Whereas this stuff is
pretty hard to prevent some nicks and scratches, it
also is not a very long lasting coating. The use of a
good hardener in a good paint works better this way.
A person can get carried away merely for the imagination,
the cosmetics, and some perceived prestige with such
things. The higher it imagination, and such, the more
costly. How about a $10,000 paint job?
In reality, a car always holds a better resale value if
it is kept in its original color. Changes take away
from its actual value unless you just get some numskull
brainwashed.
