First extra thing i did on my car was a paint job...not that mine looks half as good as any other of the paint jobs on here, but i just love how new it makes our cars look.

I just had a paint job in sept....i love it...but if you're going to get one, save the money up for a good one--cheap ones well end up looking worse than your stock job...you can click my profile to see mine biggrin.gif

[edit]: ...make sure you save enough money up to have the dents/door dings fixed...new paint will really show them off more if you don't get them fixed.

Kind of hard to do in a place like Washington, where it rains for over a month straight several times throughout the year... My baby is so dirty, I feel so bad frown.gif

What kinda price do you guys pay for a good paint job ? I've been asking about to get my celi re-sprayed the same colour and i've been quoted from £1400 to £2000 pounds i aint quite sure what that is in the ol'$$'s but it seems kinda pricey - thats before the couple minor dents are fixed frown.gif
