I want to repaint my car Nissan OEM black, it's that color right now. What is the resonable or expected price quote on that?

there's alot of post on that topic. you should try the search button. to answer your question in cali i have heard of people getiing quoted between 1500 and 3000. i was quoted 3000 to redo my whole 96' it all depends on what kind of quality the shop does

werd, my freinds macco paintjob sucked. They didnt even prep the car (like they said they would), they just taped it off and sprayed. weeks later when we were painting the plastic trim, we taped off the trim to not mess up the paint and we used medical tape. When we took off the medical tape it litterally took chunks of paint with it. And let me remind you that medical tape is only like one step up from crappy office tape.

this is what all my front end will look like exept for the cf hood.

i think it looks better than one ****tily painted black fender. one red fender and a white body kit.
