It should be about 2500 to do a respray of the same color (no door jams). Let me know if you would like the info.

Well the car is almost done now. All we have to do is the monor things. The exhaust still needs to be switched (to the agency power and factory cats) the brakes need to be painted and then final polish buff and minor stuff like mounting the side marker lights.

The color came out great, and the carbon fiber we candied over was perfect. Overall I think the car is classy but mean. We also have to smoke out the tail lights, which I think will complete the look.

Here are a few pictures as it sat on saturday.





You can see the carbon pattern through the candy.





Still need to put the new exhaust on and adjust the tips back to fit the bumper better, they stick WAY too far out now.

sweetness!!! what color are you going with on the calipers? and are you planning on putting a lip on the front bumper, i think the lip really completes that bumper.

Yellow calipers look great against that color, keep them, same with the taillights.

I have the CF lip for the bumper. The lip is carbon fiber and candied just like the rest. It wasnt dry yet so it wasnt on.

The brakes are going to be bright candy red.

On the paint job if you arent doing door jams and you have no body work it is actually a straight forward process. If your door jams, trunk jam and hood jam are not good that pushes the price up.

My paint job is between 8 and 9 thousand due to the extensive body work, and the candy paint.

Once everything is all buttoned up I will do a full photoshoot.

Thanks for all the great compliments.
