lol you have obviously not seen there work....i dont see why paying that much...it really isnt that hard of a job.ive sanded plenty of cars and painted.its not that hard really..but yes this shop is quality paint jobs.

all door jams,engine bay,removing the door panels etc.you dont always have to pay $3000 or more for a good paint job,just have to research.ive seen $4500 paint jobs chip and peel etc before my friends car that was painted at this shop.

I think pearl white might be safe but would make sure I saw a car with it before putting it on mine. Don't do anything crazy. Stay nice and simple. Good luck and post pictures after you are finished.

The Lexus pearl white is the syckest!!! I used to have a peal white Audi A4... its more of a creamy color, still cool, but not as nice looking as the Lexus color... have a hint of blue in it and that would be the $hit!!!!!!

I have to admit that lexus white is rediculously nice. I say rock it. Doesn't matter if your resale will go down as long as you enjoy it more while you have it.

Im happy if you can get it done for that price but if u do the research you are not gonna find a paint job on the Northeast for that kind of money unless u are look for a hack.

that paint job does look ricer.

you goin cheap but good quality...that doesnt even sound right in the same sentence. you want cheap = diy. quality = let your autobody buddy do it. after paying that much for a paint job you know its gonna need one in 5 years or so pretty much is the bench mark for **** to hit, scrap, dent, break, key'd. im never taking my car or refer anyone i know to the shops.
