I recently called a couple of places here in Fresno. A high quality paint job will set you back $4K or more. And, they would need your car for 3-4 weeks. I'd trade yours in for a WW rather than get it repainted.

I'm surprised they didn't quote you a hifgher price than that. When you change the color of a car, you gotta paint all the door jams, under the trunk etc. I wouldn't do it unless you were to paint it a color the EVO's did not come in. Like green.

For 4k they dont paint your engine bay. It might be cheaper to pull the engine and drive train yourself than pay them to pull it out and paint the engine bay. IMO not worth spending almost 5k to change a cars color.

Jambs suck to paint and take a long time to paint and let dry enough to mask on when you shoot the outside. I see so many wrb STI's around here its like maggots on poop. I thought about painting mine GG. That would be like putting a chevy engine in a ford, but I dont care.
