Just painting half the car would be.... Roughly 2500. You can always get the color in a spray can and do the door jams yourself but thats really ricy. Its cheaper though because if you wanted to get your door jams painted thats about 1000 rite there because they have to take the doors off, then gut the doors to do a good job, then put it all back together and re align the doors. If you sprayed the jams yourself and have the shop do the outside itl be around 1500 - 2000. It really depends where you go.

lol yeah. Like pealing. If its 900 they skipped out on something. Like maybe they will just rush the car. if you put too many coats on too fast then itl be to heavy for the first coat to hold onto the car and itl start pealing.

Paint is something you really don't want to cheap out on.

And remember all paint is the best quality paint as long as its put on rite. You can spray dupli color and have it last just as long. Now the quality of fade resistance is another thing.

But as long as its put on properly and its had its time taken on it, it should be fine.

^^That's true as well. I just meant if you're have a shop do your two tone, don't go to MAACO.
