you can spend 500 on a new paint job, or 5000. Quality determines price.
Need body work? Hows the rust? lots of factors involved, but personally, I would recommend you get the car painted over a new quad, but thats just me ;-)
I love a freshly painted vehicle, just gives you the warm fuzzies inside. Especially a delta! It would be a nice color, Viper blue. |

So thats why you want to see my Delta painted so bad :lol:
Anyways, it all basically dpends on the condition of your car. For a good job look to spend $2000-$3000. If you have rust, tons of dents, etc. (like mine did) it will cost $4000+. It all depends on what you want. Remember, it takes extra time to change a color on our cars. Paint color is everywhere (door jambs, trunk, hood, etc.)
If you know somebody who can do it for cost, like I did, it makes it a helluva lot cheaper. Or maybe attept it on your own, but that takes some skill to get it right. :) |

87delta, yes! That is why I want to see yours all new again! Classy looking cars we have, love to see people that take pride in thiers!
I know so many people around here that have delta's, 98's or buicks, and just shitbag them. They usually say its because the car is a POS, or they got it for free. Sad waste of the dying breed we call oldsmobile. |

well, u could just bondo the rust and dents and then rollpaint the damn car. hahaha nah, just kidding. altough a lot of dumbasses here think they are "restoring" a car when they just smear bondo over rustholes and stuff like that.
and about that rollpainting; if done right, it looks really decent. i know u guys don't believe me, but its true. as long as it isn't a metallic color! |

| Kind of hard to fix that "stalling" problem when you don't have the car. |

| Lookin good, so I gather you got it repainted in the color you asked for. May I suggest something? I would take some white wall cleaner to your tires. Simple green or other degreasers work well also, but keep it away from paint, and wash well afterwards. It will clean them up so nice, and, it will make a bigger difference in overall appearance than you might think... :-) |
