Getting the car repainted, it is black currently, but I'm wanting to go with a different color. Guy said it would be 2300 for the body and an additional 800 for trim, but i think I'll just leave the trim black.

I think some candy variations of red look really good like cherry and blood red, but i imagine candy will hike up the price quite a bit, need to call and find out.

Anyway I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

2300 sure seems cheap for a complete color change.

That it does, another member said a friends gto was painted there and it came out really well.

GOOD material will be $1K, can't imagine a GOOD job being less than $6K.

yeah... be suspicious.... VERY suspicious. Just sanding and prepping a Vette is an art form.

That is incredibly cheap for a complete color change done right. I would want to know exactly what the body shop planned to do to the car for the price. Don't get just a cheapie job done on the car - make it look, and last, right.

That said, depending on the color of your interior, I'd go with something like an AE red or a Mag Red - those colors are beautiful. Otherwise, another choice would be something like a Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.

well, that's a totally different ball game Bill. Metal is FAR easier than glass to work with an not screw it up.

That's a gorgeous car Bill. Yours?

Mr.Bill

No, This one is mine.

I'm definitely jealous

Is there any other color than torch red?

mulalleybs

I've always loved TR myself, but if I might as well have a non stock color.

I'd want to see quite a bit of that shops work before I'd let them touch my car. Normally you get what you pay for.

mulalleybs

That's the plan, they already invited me to come see their work with other cars.

Is there anything I should ask them?

calvins

I'd want to see other fiberglass cars they've painted. Again, it's NOT the same as doing a metal body and is MUCH easier to screw up.
