That's awesome and I can't wait to see some pictures of it! There is nothing like getting you hands on a new toy then going all out on it:smile: Are paint jobs around you at a decent price with the economy and all? I would like to get mine done in time, not any time soon though. When you guys are ready to roll, let me know and I'll cruise up to PC.
I think the paint job was a fair price. I got a couple of quotes from people I know (I'm in the insurance business so I know alot of body shops). They all said about $2000 for what I want done.
What quotes from what shops? macco? earl shieb? paint and go?
Are you getting a complete paint job?
removing all the trim etc required for taking it down to bare metal, masking off, primer, sealer all the sanding involved...even single stage for good materials your looking at $1100 in materials which leaves $900 for labor?
Unless your just getting front clip shot or a door here and there?
Please enlighten me
hey whats up guys. i live south of freeport. i bought my T in january. my buddy has a TTA. let me know when you are gonna get together. i would like to join you and im sure he would too. and are the turbos that are being ordered, are they from Stump?? my buddy is getting one too i think and i was considering it. post some pics of your rides or email them to me .. eischdawg@hotmail.com
i will post mine when i get my bumper fillers in that i ordered over the weekend.
Well, here's what all that is involved in this paintjob... He's not stripping all the paint. He's stripping the entire hood, roof, and trunk and down the sides of the car about 8 inches or so because the paint was checked really bad. I had to buy new bumper fillers and emblems (about $500 in that). For the two thousand, he is doing the stripping I mentioned, installing the bumper fillers masking, as well as fixing a few door dings and a couple of small dents. This also includes all the sanding, removing the rear spoiler painting it separately then reinstalling it. He's painting all the parts separately (spoiler, bumper fillers, front and rear bumpers) then reinstalling them on the car. Then doing basecoat and clearcoat and installing my new emblems. He's done work for me before on a Mustang so I know he does good work. I'm in the insurance business so I know who does the best jobs in this area. There's a couple more guys over here that do real good work too.
hey man.. were you able to find the body molding that runs your fenders and doors? i have heard its no where to be found.
