How much does it cost to have a car painted?
Well after 12 years, my old Civic Del Sol SI doesn't look as good as she used to. Car compound, buffing, waxing, paint touch ups, just don't do it anymore. A 50 y/o woman can keep applying layers of makeup with a paintbrush, she's still not fooling anyone.
So it's time for some real sandblasting and a facelift! I was in no rush to do this but my car got in a fight with my garage door frame last week and it lost... (stupid, so don't ask
). So since part of the passenger side of the car is sort of caved in, I might as well get that fixed, along with the multiple knicks and scratches especially on both bumpers, and get a new paint job while I'm at it. So, how much does a job like this cost? $500? $1,000? more? I'm looking for quality work (but not some sort of ricer special metallic paint job or whatever...), not one of those "make it as cheap as possible because I'm gonna sell the car" jobs.

I think I've been spending way too much time lurking in Adult Talk. I wish Sunny would just post those darn pics already.
