I've just got little scrates and stuff all over it and i figure it would be easier just to repaint the thing, how much would that be?

 

All over your car? How bad? Can we see a picture?

You might just be able to get the car buffed out or touched up at a detailer.

But for a new paint job... To have it done right, that's a lot of money.

 

you'd be surprised as to what i've come up against working as a mobile detailer. hell, just the other day i did a 1994 civic that had received tunnel washes the past 12 years. you think your scratches are bad?! after a good 3-4 hours, it came out fine. just try and find a detailer that knows what he's doing and have him look at it. more than likely a bit of abrasive polishing can remove your defects.

 

repaint car same color...2000easy for a good job.

 

imma repaint mine once body kit comes along...


not to get off subject...but Honey0bucket why u get rid of the tC???

 

I've buffed out scratches that went through the paint with Scratch-X. Took me an hour and a half, but I was doing it by hand. I can only imagine what a pro detailer can do.

Automatic Carwashes

My car hasn't been through a carwash even once, and it STILL has a few swirl marks from Dealership washing my car. Even though I tell them, "Don't wash my car."

 

that's the reason why i stand at the entrance of the wash area when i take my car to the dealer. a couple of times i've told them not to wash it, and then i had to tell them to drive around the wash area because they were about to pull in and have it get washed.

 

why repaint when you and just buff. use microfiber.

 

i drive alot...and 450+ a month on gas just wasnt cutting it for me. That and the only tC around here i have to comete aginst...is wedrivescions, yeah you try and compete aginst him....good thing he's my best friend or i'd be ____ed haha.

i figured i'd go the box rout and save a significant amount of money on gas, and i can do alot more creative things with the paint and bodyshop i have acces too....actaully starting today im two-toning my box :-D and if im lucky, and not lazy, i'll have my coilovers installed sunday...depends if iwant to do it afer a whole weekend of painting...check out the two-tone xB color section on sunday for some finished product stuff.

 

Wow, that's alot of driving.

How many miles did you have before you sold it?

 

dealer car wash is that bad? theres a nice hand wash spot by my place... $15 for full service, wash and vacumn!!! $3 more then the "tunnel"... it was pretty nice afterwards too!

 

i had 26k..i put 24k on in one year
