im still tryin to decide if i want to buy a new quad since mine got stolen or get my car painted. but how much do u think it would cost to get my car dodge viper blue its either that or the quad within the next week so i cant decide which one is gunna be cheaper.

thanks

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

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!

well that choice is yours
your gonna get what ya pay for you want cheap it will look cheap you want nice then you pay a nice price

here in shi-town the last shop i worked for was a complete color change shaved handles frenched antenas the guy paid over 8,000 and that will last longer then the car when preped coreectly

so it`s your choice really

well i got it back n the guy painted it silver again instead of blue.. i really dont know what i should do about it he said he will do it again in 2 weeks but i dont see why i should wait that long considering i already paid cause he wouldnt release the car until i did

sounds like a maaco job to me....where did you bring it? That's pretty bad to paint the car the wrong color. That's horrible actually....

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

I reckon so....

noo i dropped the car off friday and picked it up saturday morning. my father had alreay paid for the paint job so i had to take it in. i took it to an earl scheib, and the car came out perfect although its the wrong color. im still working on the stalling problem and im working on getting a vaccum guage to help figure the problem out. ill let you guys know whats up with that in the other thread

car got finished and im almost done fixing the problem with it if anyone wants to see pictures http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2315121

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...

Meh, Scrubbing Bubbles or that bathtub bleach cleen stuff works even better
