I'm just here for the bitches

Thanks for the lead! I gave the guy a call, $14-16 grand seems a little crazy, am I off?

I'm thinking matte black with two glossy stripes. I don't think a wrap could work because of the contrast bits. Does anyone know about plastidip painting? that appears to be a thing for matte painting (?)

paint in CA is crazy. if you can get the car to another state you could get the same thing at 1/2 the price. and matte is the hardest to paint. and if you dont have a perfect job it shows up soooo bad.

what is your paint budget?

Just exploring options right now, don't really know. In my head it was $4-6k. I'm not a concours guy, my cars are drivers. Just don't want it to look horrible. I won't buy something that's rusted out, probably wouldn't bother taking the whole car to shell.

personally i would love to see a car media blasted and then cleared in flat to give it a rough look.

That seems high but paint is always the last thing on my mind so I'm not up on prices.

A little bit of a drive but I know these guys do great work, might want to give them a call: http://www.yelp.com/biz/scotts-speed-and-custom-antioch

Thanks for the link, I'll give him a call. I just called a shop in PDX (currently eying a car up there) and he quoted me a more sane ballpark of $4-6k for a good driver, price going up from there based on bodywork, door jambs, underhood, engine bay, etc. Sort of handy that the frunks on the things are coated, so you don't paint them.

Small sprinkle for the first time in a while. Got a little sideways twice unintentionally. Crazy what a small amount of water can do.
