Low cost paint shop ?

Hey all.
Houston area looking for a low cost paint job.

anywhere from $100 to $300.

I really just need two sections painted, but if
I can get the whole car painted cheap, I will surely jump
on it.

Heck I don't care if it just lasts two years,
just has to look good for the next couple
months and a series of pictures.

For $300 you can get a couple sections painted decent. What needs to be painted on your car?

I don't know where Spring is but IF you are close to Dallas/Denton Area, there is a place called lucky's off Business 121 in Lewisville that advertises any car for $225. Never used them but they are in your price range.

Spring is down by Houston, but I'm sure there is a place similar down there. Masking off the front fender, top and hatch area you should be able to get it done for around $300-$500 and it will look good. Most places will just scuff the paint to get the clear off and give the paint something to stick to and then shoot over top of it. Shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows what they are doing. What color because that will be a big factor depending if they have some left over from another job. If black or white you should be ok, even red you might be able to get by, but any other color they will charge you full price.

Silver with black top.
But i don't need anything done to the black.

I would love to lose the black though.

talk to Chuck at Bear Creek Maaco- may cost a little more than $300 but you won't find a better deal. He is rebuilding my Can Am now and is painting my Saleen this week. Just make sure you take all the trim off first.
