Rob...since you dont seem avid about running an rx7 painting business ...what body shop would you reccomend on LI?

 

rob is gonna slap the **** outta me....im bothering him too much

 

rob said he will paint it but are you willing to pay $3000+ for a good paint job ? most rx7 people aren't. i know i would but i simply don't have that much money and i'm talking about my FD

 

id be wiling to pay that much, its a better paint job than a $5k one here



mike

 

well i think rob charges $3k but i could be wrong....i'm sure he will tell you lol

 

yah, i'm waiting for him to bust out his calculator, i'm thinking like $3500-4k with is a deal if its as good as it looks, its really hard to find a body shop that does a halfway decent job here

Give the man a cigar, he guessed right, it would be in the $3500 range or so.



I know body shops that charge $2000 for a paint job. No taking apart, spot priming, no wet sanding and polishing, no painting of moldings,mirrors, **** like that, and its a crap shoot if they will use a brand name clear.



Trend is for alot of shops to skimp on the clear by using alot of these cheap clears that are out on the market now. A good line is "this is what they use in Germany, you never heard of it here because it just came to this country", you can insert any country in there, Italy is another good one they use, lol.



Money can be saved by taking the car apart and putting it back together by the owner. Also a note: I usually use 1 of 2 friends shops with paint booths when it comes time for full jobs and dont usually do it in my shop. Only prep is done in my shop then I borrow a booth to cut down on any dust.

 

yah, we have the $2000 paint jobs too, but it looks worse than the $700 miracle job
