what ever you do, don't go to the cheap 300 dollar places like macco. i took my old mr2 to a similar place, forgot the name but was very simlar to macco, and i regretted it so much. the outside was one color, and everything inside, the trunk, under carpet, door jams, everything was the original color.


good luck though.

The cheap places will include those 'hidden' areas at added cost. It's best just to avoid those places.

Unfortunatly I don't think "good paint job" and "budget" really go together unless you know someone. Even then...

If your looking for a really nice place to get paint jobs, there's a shop in Fairfield that does A+ work. Friend of mine got his 3000gt painted there, but it cost him like 2500.

i agree....$2500 is CHEAP!!! i was quoted $2k for the external paint job alone...not including door jams and everything else.

it was, IIRC, $4500 for the entire paint job. they stand behind their work and at that price, they better!!!
