Topic #32848 12 posts Started by cg97
hey guys, i was wondering do all of you guys have new paint jobs? is that a pretty popular thing to do, i was lookin through some profiles and stuff and soo many of your guys's cars look fantastic. is that just a good wash/wax job? or alot of you got new paint jobs?
its nice to have, but not a priority for me
First extra thing i did on my car was a paint job...not that mine looks half as good as any other of the paint jobs on here, but i just love how new it makes our cars look.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
I have a new paint job biggrin.gif

But the secret to a shiney car is washing and waxing it wink.gif Your car will be pretty without the expensive paintjob tongue.gif

I just had a paint job in sept....i love it...but if you're going to get one, save the money up for a good one--cheap ones well end up looking worse than your stock job...you can click my profile to see mine biggrin.gif

[edit]: ...make sure you save enough money up to have the dents/door dings fixed...new paint will really show them off more if you don't get them fixed.

paint job here but either way if you want the exteror to stay nice and shiny, give it a good wash and wax ever other week.

Kind of hard to do in a place like Washington, where it rains for over a month straight several times throughout the year... My baby is so dirty, I feel so bad frown.gif

What kinda price do you guys pay for a good paint job ? I've been asking about to get my celi re-sprayed the same colour and i've been quoted from £1400 to £2000 pounds i aint quite sure what that is in the ol'$$'s but it seems kinda pricey - thats before the couple minor dents are fixed frown.gif
