Painting the 240sx zenki?

[Hostile Aces]

Hey everyone I'm thinking about painting my s14 zenki metallic yellow. Do any of you guys know how much it will cost?

That would depend on the quality of the job and how much prep work you do before hand.

I was quoted 6K for my Zenki... to do it right by some reputable guys. I can get it painted at Maaco for much less, maybe as low as 1K for a quicky. It really depends on the previous color, clear coat, door dings, new seals or not, paint quality, etc. There's a lot of manual labor involved in doing it right. Lots! Read up on it and you'll understand, and maybe even appreciate the quotes for a good job. No one is making 100 bucks an hour by blocking your old clear coat. I'm not sure I'll ever pull the trigger on this task. Maybe someday. The car was like 5K. The paint would be 6K. A quality engine rebuild for 5K. Everything else... OMG, I should have bought an FRS brand new! Well, not really.
