were are you located?
look/ask for reccomended places, sometimes its the difference a good finish, and a half-ass'd.
its aLOT cheaper doing it yourself, if you have access to tools like a compressor, spray gun etc, but the finish varys on how well you do it, me and a mate just recently spayed his ke35, but he had hook-ups in the industry..herz a pic, it turned out alrite. (notice the ke35 rear trims removed and plated, i thouht that better'd the look.)
anyway the most cash you pay for a pro job is in the prep, and the paint. Bad thing is, most places wont paint it if you have prepped it yourself, because everyone knows the trick to a good finish is in the prep.
i could pm' you instuctions on painting a car... accually no..
GotSearch..?
