hmmm... it really all depends on how much work you do to set your car up for the painter.. if you sand your car down and fiberglass all the dents and dings and **** and prep **** for him.. it will be hella cheaper.. also black is the cheapest paint.. and depending on the place changing the color from light to dark is much easier than changing it from dark to light.. because if you do dark to light.. thats more work for the place, because they have to take it down to metal basically.. you can just paint over light colors with dark colors without doing that.. but you will still have to sand it down a ways..

this is why i am going to be doing all my prep work and getting it set up for the painter so i dont have to pay up the ass..

i helped paint my ex's eclipse, and christ.. that was a journey/...
