Belize Green . I got paint and so did he so , the cost I can't realy discuss but seeing that I worked at a body shop for a while and did alot of trim work and saw paint jobs running from 800 to 10,000 Tjis job as I see ion the pics looks like close to a 1000 paint job .. He is DOHC turbo on carolina dsm .com if you want him to do any work for you .
 
Very Cool:thumb: I just recently had my car painted for $600 with clear. Best $600 I ever spent on a car:thumb:

I'm getting quotes for $250 to paint my front bumper. :toobad:
 
VERY nice color! did you get the door jams and underhood?
if you did get underhood did you pull your motor?
What was the cars original color? Sorry for so many questions,
I am thinking of repainting the GS-T but dont want to go back straight white.

WowOMG Thats alot of money just to paint a bumper, but I guess if you think about painting a car is getting really exspensive:notgood: I went to one shop and they told me it would cost $1000 to paint my carWTF

not really,those numbers seem like pretty good prices.Sure you can get a 300 dollar paintjob,but if you look at it too hard the paint will crack off ,and then they'll use cheap ass enamel paint and no clear,just not worth it.there is alot of work that goes into painting a car,and alot of equipment thats very expensive being used to obtain an optimal finished product,in the end it pays off.When i had my 2g(see gallery) painted,it was a 2000 dolar paintjob(including some body work).It was black pearl with blue mini metalic flakes wich you could only see in the sunlight.I didn't pay for it,the insurance company did,I just knew the guy at the body sho and he had just painted a civic the same scheme and still had the color avaiable,so it worked out for both of us.
 
I guess for someone as poor as me $1000 is too much for paint:D I'll be happy if this new paint on my car last about 2 years or until I sell it:thumb:

Guess, it's a good thing you knew that body shop guy:thumb: I'm glad it worked out for ya
 
dark colors are so hard to take care of
but it is going to be a nice looking car

What is that blue color?

I guess your talking about my car. The guy who painted my car never gave it a name and I forgot to ask him. When compared to a WRX the color is almost exactly the same so you could call it WRX blue:D
 
My car is Brazil Green also and I need to get it repainted. Does anyone know the paint code for it?
