Yeh maybe you will spend $8000 at bellevue, but are you going to spend $3500 with some dodgy lebo..?? then realise that you could of got twice as good and want to take it somewhere else spend even more and end up spending over 10 haha... thats why i took my car to bellevue because i really thought about that and have seen it happen sooo many times.

Thats just if your a fussy c*nt.....if you dont really care and just want something that looks good on the street....then go for a cheaper one. The cheaper one will still look good , but its the fine details like little runs and pits and stuff, and the way everything is put back together that will set them apart. Exactly good paint jobs start at 8K My mate had a 3K job done a while ago it was pretty ordinary and not much to look at up close but it passed the 50 meter test LOL there is so much to paint jobs and people just don't understand but like I previously mentioned its up to the individual what he can live with if they're prepared to settle for second best then so be it......... there's this old saying I always have a laugh over. " Quality is like oats, If you want good quality then you must pay a fair price, If you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse? well that comes a little cheaper................" LOL I crack up everytime Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good quality, not show quality but it will look very schmick just spoke to my mate. if the car is very straight and doesnt need any pannels pulled etc should cost around a grand. labour, spray, booth etc all included. if the body needs a little work then the price will go up a little... he works 70 hours a week so if u want a spray this weekend ur dreamin. pm me and ill hook u up
