Paint Jobs
 

I want an all black paint job for my 89' 240sx but I have no idea how much it will cost. I don't plan on doing it myself. Anybody have a ballpark figure to what i'm looking at as far as cost for this job? Thanks.

Ask around your area(local paint/body shops), you will get a much better ball park figure

Alright, I got a couple quotes from a local shop. 200 bucks is the lowest, that's without a clearcoat and nothing special, which is basically all I want. Is there any special things I should make sure I have them do? If I just kept it waxed good I wouldn't have a problem right?

Earl schwabb? Maaco?

Their paint jobs are not good(the ones above), but eh. Make sure to tell them not to overspray! Dont expect this paint job to last long...

Yeah, the one for 200 i found was Earl Schwabb, but i've abandoned that idea because I found a local guy to do it. He's a perfectionist and i've seen his work so it'll be good I hope. Thanks HyJynx.

Cool, make sure to take pics of the aftermath! :thumb:

black is the hardest color to paint, if flaws are tehre, they will show!

Yes, and very hard to keep clean! But I love the look of the all black 89 fastback. I just took the cheap approach to the 180sx tailight conversion and bought a jdm tailight kit. It was only 20 bucks so I figured why not?

yeah i want to paint my car black, so thats part of the reason why its not painted yet
