Man, I went to maaco to get a quote on a paint job on a 4 piece body kit(not the whole car) and to remove a SLIGHT dent in my door he definatley quoted $1100!!! I luaghed and said thanks but no thanks. Id rather buy 30 cans of spray paint and a Ding King and call it a day. biggrin.gif Just a heads up, they wanted blood.

Not everyone is into show quality paint jobs... there are a lot of people who place more value in a house than in a car, which is why they wouldn't mind spending less money for a cheap-a$$ paint job...

How is spending $2-3k (I got quoted from a private shop) on a paintjob define me as placing more value in a car than a house? I hope you know houses cost a BIT more than $2-3k and if even $5k is going to discourage you from buying a house, then, perhaps you should get a better job than at McDonalds....

...then again, perhaps you were exaggerating, in which case I really hope you are...

I think you misunderstood what I was getting at dude... when I made that comment, I was going off the premise that people assume that putting more money into a car will increase its value... but as we all know, this is not the case.

However, when you put more into a house, the value will appreciate, not depreciate... My comment was supposed to reflect the fact that people would find it more worthwhile to dump their money into a house rather than on a car. I hope that's clear enough for you.

And believe me, I know what it's like to spend money on a car. I'm on my 4th paint job, and invested a lot (maybe more than you) of money into my project. I know that ignorance is bliss, but before you go off making comments like you did, please make yourself more familiar with the members is this community.

For the record... I'm a computer programmer and a UI designer for a respectable company...

Oh, and BTW, welcome to the board.
