the car looks great! $$$

Well, my car is in need of new paint, and this makes me happy. Same with the interior. I've got a brand new 'vert top, but the seats need some love. Maybe I'll take the materials down to them and get exactly what I want done. I'll PM you when the time comes!

And this is exactly what Im going to do now. Thanks for taking the plunge for the rest of us!

dozy, we gotta roll down there and get our e30's freshened up!

Wow this car looks great for $1000 I wish I could find a deal like that in the US, They rape us here.

[2002maniac]

looks like it turned out really well!

When I was 16 I took my '74 2002 down to TJ and got a complete interior and paint done for $750. The only problem I had was the tread they used to sew up the door panels and seat upholstery was not very high quality and tore in places.

I also had an E30 interior done a few years ago. I crossed the border, dropped off the seats, saw baja for a few days, and then picked them up on my way back to the states.

Dang. Great deal. Too bad Canadians don't do work like this....

im sure if we got a few together and called it wouldnt be as much.... but just came across this thread... its genious

I took my Audi to TJ 5 years ago. They did a decent job for $300, including fixing the dents and other minor stuff. Took my e30 two weeks ago to 1daypaint for their second highest paint job for $490. Also looks decent for the moneys.

Hmmm let's investigate. The only person I've found on forums saying Alpine II is two stage is...you. How'd you come to that conclusion?

These will tell you they are single stage...which I'd believe since Alpineweiss II isn't a metallic. The difference is in the tone of the color.

The paint brand they used is PPG.

The owner said they did 4 coats of white and 4 coats of clear over it.

You sir are a pompous ass who just got
And to add insult to injury, the roadfly post you cited even explains how clearcoat was applied from the factory... what a douche.
Regardless, any shop that paints a car today is going to spray it with clear.
