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.

Well, it all depends on if we have to paint on English subtitles or not. Also, in what region are we doing the painting. Whichever it is, I hope they don't charge VAT.

Is it a convertible? If so, we need topless pics. At least when Sunny posted in the wrong forum she gave us topless pics.

Oh yeah, for my personal sign, I'd like a shot of your car's rear, on the back windshield you can write "Red Sox kick". Use red lipstick for the writing please. Thanks.

One word: TIRES

If you do post a pic, don't forget to include your tires. That should keep the "tire fetish" crowd happy.

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

Shit, I've been spending the last 15 min looking for responses to this thread in the Other forum and was wondering why the heck I coudn't find it.

Yeah, obviously I posted it in the wrong forum... Sorry guys.

Now I hope this gets flixtime to shut the hell up.
