I just painted my 08z a whole different color from its original color. I'm probably going to be keeping the car two or more years.
I just read in another thread someone said it depreciate value by 50% wow I just screwed up. My car was San Marino blue but the roof and trunk was fading so I painted it a dark metallic grey. Now the car is worth like 5k? That's hard to believe.
A good paint job is 5-7k. Hopefully you'll luck out...
Well hopefully it's better than what it was, faded and clear coat peeling. I had to get it painted. This is the website http://www.autopaintingusa.com/
I got the simulator do you think it's going to come out good?
Well it's still in the shop and I'm paying 900 to paint the entire car so I don't know if it is going to come out good.
Man $900 is a cheap price, even in a Tijuana shop. Changing to anything from SMB will be a big hit, at least to an informed/experience buyer. Good luck.

It's gonna go down in price anyway in a few years. I'm keeping it for two more years or maybe longer. I don't want more bills with another car.
Bro I was charged 900 just to paint my front lip, spoiler, and rear bumper... I would imagine is low quality paint that will fade out in about 2 years if untreated. Gl
safe to assume that they wont be painting your engine by, door jambs and hatch uderside for that price and are probably using a single stage cheap paint.
Well it comes with a five year warranty on fading and peeling
And the warranty states what? "Car must be in a heated/ac garage 24/7 and shall never be driven or touch. If even a spec of dust lands on it warranty is null and void."
Warranty doesnt mean sh.it unless its clearly worded and reasonable...
