Man. I went to a local shop and they wanted 3500 for Black Sand Pearl including jambs and the engine bay (i think the bay) and to pull a few dents. What do you think?

ask them how much if you prep yourself. I kinda wish I had done that and gone to a more reputable shop ... oh well

got paint chips here and there; looks like they didn't prep some areas properly. its still minor at this point and it'll be fixed when the car goes in next but I can tell its going to be a problem in the long-run. I wish I had just done a swap, or dropped another grand for a job that'll look pristine for years to come .. oh well, you live and you learn

3500 isnt a bad price if its a complete color change.
