Repaint your whole car Pearl Black- $600
Are you serious? Last time I checked a paintjob of "show car quality" or even factory quality is gonna cost no less than $3000. I've never dealt with Earl Scheib, but I did unfortunately have a car painted by Maaco a couple years ago, which I would say is comparible. They give you a base price, and then charge you more to paint things like door jambs, trunk, engine compartment, etc....and their quality sucks. My advice.....buy a car that has a factory paintjob you like.

Well looks like I started a little flaming, rims are nice z06 or C5, black has nothing to do w/ rice. But the Ricer Mentality is being something that you are not (ie. looking fast when you are not) so IMO putting a SS wing on a non SS camaro is being a poser, why dont u just stick the SS badges on it. Body kits are rice.

maaco is pretty much trash. that earl scheib $600 paintjob has 3 base coats and a clear, so it will actually look very nice and last a while. i've heard good things about them

I'm going to have to disagree with you. I have a 2 in cowl hood and GM SS spoiler on my Z (pics aren't up yet on my site). Placing a factory spoiler on a car is not rice So you would you call me rice since I run Nitrous oxide??? If you say changing anything on your can makes you rice, then @ 75% of this board is guilty. Grow up
