    Can't repaint the E30? Look at what these guys did

    A few interesting options for those who can't afford the $2,000+ factory color paintjob.

    1) Rusty look.


    2) Sanded down look.


    3) Primer look.


    4) Chalkboard look.



    5) Plasti dip look.


    6) Wrap look.

                              If you can get an OE quality paint job for 2 grand, you're dumb for not taking advantage of really good. Any good body shop with charge you around 4 grand for an OE quality paint job. There so much prep work and disassembling in order for a solid paint and that's where the majority coin goes to. My brother in-law just gave me my price quote for all the paint and product I need to paint my car and it's just over a grand.
