What does a good car paint/detailing job cost?
So.. I have a white eclipse and I want to get it paint black and have purple lines on the 3 grooves on either side of the car, but each place I call gives me an entirely different quote.
I know Maaco is awful and have no intention of going there, but my girlfriend just bought a celica that she wants redone lime green and the salesman’s friend said he could have it done for $2000.
I feel $2000 sounds like a good price for a color change, but is it too cheap and what would the lines cost me?
Finally, somebody that realizes you can’t paint a car for $300.
You should look at similar jobs they have done for a similar price to see what kind of results you can expect.
Easy, eh?
